i think i understand your point of view
but there are a few problem
- first of all this bug is out of hands for the cubik team becuse the bug lays in the game it self mojang is reposeble for this not cubik
- reporting this to mojang using the bug tracker would not solve your problem aswell mojang is already aware of this problem but are not able or want to fix this bug
- if you want to fix this so badly try make the armour stand stand on a light source for example glowstone / sea lantern

It's not a bug. Ofc it turns dark while underground.
You can turns your armor stand invisible with /summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {Invisible:1} or /summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Invisible:1b,Invulnerable:1b,NoGravity:1b}

Better to use invisible armor stands than hidden ones 😉

armor stand applies shade to all models attached to it and shade value comes from the block the armorstand is in. If your armor stand is in darkness, then all models attached to it will look dark.
