The subtitles in-game don't follow the chat settings - what I mean by that is if I, for example, set the "chat background opacity" setting in the chat settings it doesn't apply the same settings to the subtitles (see the attachment).

Further investigating regarding this issue has brought to light the fact that subtitles actually do use the same settings for chat, if you allow them to in your game options. This is in fact the whole purpose of the "Text Background" button in the accessibility settings. If you set this button to "Everywhere", the text background would be the same throughout all overlays.

Can confirm that this still exists in 1.17.1. Video attached.
