It's deliberate. Many people who need subtitles also have poor eyesight.
"For subtitles to be readable they need to be high contrast. Pre-prepared block subtitles are the best approach to providing accurate, easily legible and well-synchronised subtitles. Recommended colours are white, yellow, cyan and green
against a solid black background as these provide the best contrast. "
(From ATVOD subtitling guidelines. Ofcom have a similar recommendation)
