I agree with you, but also... I'm not sure that I'd notice that I could see the moon a few minutes ago and now I can't (unless I happened to be looking at it as it happened)... I feel like that is something that could be happening every single night and I've never noticed.

The sun disappearing is like... Super noticeable by comparison.

You would notice the lack of light. The night isn't pitch black xD

Most cities have brighter light pollution than the moon can provide.

Maybe if I lived in the countryside, here in a city, I only really notice the moon if I'm looking for it (which I do often, I love seeing our moon).

I live in the city and the moonlight is clearly noticeable so I guess it depends. I mean, a city can be considered as such with as little as 50k people so I guess that, statistically, the majority of people that live in a city would most certainly notice the lack of moonlight.
