Please do not close this again with the arguments "needs to be discussed more" or "trying to find a better solution to this", because that happened in 2016 and 2017!
Now we are in 2019, and still no fix :-( !

It will be fixed soon?

As a workaround you can easily implement this yourself by using the Visual State Manager.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, I think this is how iOS works, right? The background color gets a grey shade, but the text still remains the same. That is what we do as well.
