Some of the old methods for loading a image from byte array as well as encoding to PNG or EXR have been removed from this calls and re added as extension methods in ImageConversion

Texture2D.whiteTexture (and the others as well) are not protected at all, and Unity uses them to draw the Editor UI.
Modifying Texture2D.whiteTexture at runtime modifies the editor as well, and it stays even after exiting play mode.

Running this should reset everything:

var texture2D = Texture2D.whiteTexture;

var pixels = texture2D.GetPixels();
for (int i = 0; i < pixels.Length; i++)
{
        pixels[i] = Color.white;
}
            
texture2D.SetPixels(pixels);
texture2D.Apply();

Not sure if the dark mode uses the Texture2D.blackTexture though.
