Aren’t most deep sea creatures more or less “legally” blind anyway, as an extreme lack of light doesn’t really incentivize putting resources towards vision.

No, they can still see usually but in narrower bands, blasting bright white light still blinds them so a lot of research folks switched to red light with special lenses, since most don't have photoreceptors for red light apparently
