This is common misconception about what "light pollution" actually is. It is about the proper arrangement of light fixtures so that the light points towards the ground and not horizontally or up into the sky.

They dont care. That's their prerogative. I say this as someone who doesnt like light pollution. Dont live in a city if you're so bothered by light pollution and people in close proximity.
