They may not want to imply that didder's linearized rabbit is wrong, but I'm comfortable saying so. It's not just a little dark, it's way dark, to the point of hiding detail.
The linearized RGB palette is similarly awful. It clobbers a whole swath of colors, rendering them as nearly black. Purples are particularly brutalized. Yellows disappeared and became white.
On my phone, the middle palette doesn't appear too bright to my eyes, either.

Even the linearized gradient looks worse, .
Maybe linear is not best for perceptual accuracy.
