Looks like it’s controlled by an advanced pref:

When running on macOS Mojave (10.14) and later, BBEdit will override the “Match 
application appearance to selected editor color scheme” option when you have 
selected the “Dark” appearance in the General system preferences. This is done 
so that BBEdit’s primary interface can match the system appearance (dialog 
boxes, palettes, and so forth) will all use Dark Mode when it is turned on 
system-wide.

If there is some reason that you would prefer that BBEdit’s presentation always 
match the selected editor color scheme irrespective of whether Dark Mode is on, 
you can change this:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit UseSystemAppearanceWhenInDarkMode -bool NO

We recommend restarting BBEdit after you change this setting.
