Looking for a quality light in a compact form factor and most importantly no extra modes. I want a single button that turns the light on and off. No brightness settings and for the love of god no strobe mode and no colors.

Oh looks like you can still get Fenix e01. This is a great light though not exactly modern. 1 level of about 10 lumens, which is fine for a basic EDC regardless of the lumen mongers cringing.

Oh yes Skilhunt E3A is my current EDC. How could I have forgotten. Also a great light, shorter and nicer tint than the Fenix, though too bright IMHO (100 lumens, 1 hour runtime). You want the slate blue version which for some reason has a harder finish than the other colors. You can change the brightness by replacing an SMD resistor if you want to bother. I didn't.
