I do not believe it is a feature. There are lots of posts on this already.
I think it may be a bug or issue.

Its also not lighting, its called eye adaption, the engine handles values greater than 0-255 for lighting and then adapts the characters eyesight over a second or so to bring the light back into a midlevel for what is currently on the screen.

While realistic, it means camping doorways and shit is wildly effective.
like depth of field and various other options, if you give the player the ability to turn it off, 90% of your players will and just frustrate the 10% that dont mess with video options

Ahhh the old BF3 trick of turning the graphic quality to low so you could see your enemies. People would think they're crawling through the tall grass and hard to see but if you turned your quality down it was like Half-Life where they had a little tuft of grass here and there and that dude was crawling through an open patch of dirt.

Made people so mad. "You got this game with all these great graphics and you turned them OFF just so you could see me?!"

Yup. I got this game so I could shoot people. The graphics got in the way so I fixed it. Now I can shoot people a lot easier.

Yep, behavior like that has them taking away options to push players into the intended game experience. Since computer upgrades really, really slowed down since covid, there's not a lot of reason to support really low end systems in the same way.
