Once again, I have attributed a reason to it: in both cases, the area around the characters goes dark, while the characters central to the matter are lit up as they reveal something important, and in the case of Sans, this is not just any light, but a circular light. Anyone who has observed a play would recognize this circular light as a spotlight, and that such moments occur very often to focus attention on what is beneath the spotlight. Toby recreated this for the purpose of focusing attention on the spot and, likely in the case of Flowey, to ease the transition between the happy and smiling faces of the various characters on screen and the sudden change to their frightened looks.

That the reason I have attributed does not provide massive implications about the story which fly in the face of everything we have learned makes it no less a reason.

You demand that the tinest details carry a world of significance behind them. The greatest philosophical and literary minds in history could not satisfy your demand. By what claim do you think Toby Fox can do so?
