> If people general prefer a dark sky at night, why do we have so much lighting?

Because it's been too gradual of a thing for most folks to really notice.

Take someone to a dark sky site and they'll likely have their mind blown. I was in Freycinet National Park in Tasmania last year, and you could step out of a lit room with no time for eyes to adjust and still see the Milky Way laid out in the sky.
