Both of these pages were interesting, but hard to read. I don't get
why some pages use a light grey text. I suppose some don't have a
problem reading that, but I do, a *lot*.

It's plain stupid. Perhaps they think that they are saving 'ink'! A
quick fix is to highlight the offending text.

Sometimes that is worse than the original, improves contrast, but horrid
to read still. It does nothing for the shadowed text. That one is
truly bizarre. I think it is a "style" thing. They are trying to be
trendy.
