If I remember correctly, dark roast was also originally devised to hide bad-quality coffee beans. Nowadays it is often implied that darker roasts are better, which actually isn’t necessarily the case.

Dark roasts have a more consistent taste/flavor and it has a longer shelf life, so it’s easier to know what you’re getting. If you want to taste the variety of flavors coffee can have, you’ll go for fresher lighter roasts.

Implied where? All the coffee snobs I know drink lighter roasts and derogatorily call dark roasts “supermarket coffee”

I think it’s more a marketing push from commercial brands and chain coffee places. Most of them will brand their products as “rich” or “bold”
