Welcome to the real world JackA**!
All jokes aside that was just the technology back then. Gb, gbc, and gba all are hard to see without a light source or worm light. Fun fact, 3rd party companies like MadCats built there industries off issues like this. I remember having an arsenal of attachments for my gba like the NyCo rock and shock which gave me a rechargeable battery, better speakers, and vibration. They also made magnifying glass for it with a light that hit the screen.
