A few seconds of darkness is fine. For example - the character wakes up and turns on the light. But the current trend is that sometimes entire scenes are too dark.

They do the same to make CGI easier to do (and to make it look better).
That makes a lot of sense. At least lighting to obscure low budget effects is something you can see on set and make sure it works. For CGI you would need to light in a way that's safe for whatever the CG artists are going to do with it in post months after shooting without the DP or director in the room and probably in a different country.
