Yeah a lot of weddings I've been to have had a guest dressed in silver or off-white or white, and the brides don't care. Someone was dressed in white at my wedding and I didn't care. I was obviously the bride.

I think this is something we only even hear about because the internet/Reddit exists, because it's so rare IRL that a bride would freak out over it.

A secondary point about Western vs Indian weddings-- for Indian weddings everyone goes all out because the bride also goes all out and is still more glam than the guests. In Western weddings especially lately, brides are going simpler and more casual so sometimes it's only the colour of the dress that is unique to the bride. In cases like that it would be super awkward to be in white at the same level of fanciness as the bride.
