"Visible to the naked eye" is increasingly a fuzzy statement ranging from magnitude 4.0 to 6.0+[0]: Light pollution means that in the environments where most of humanity lives we can see fewer and fewer stars. Nowadays if you see a "star" and it is not visibly moving or blinking, its probably a planet (and those come with very different "demographics" :-)

Light pollution is a real problem that should be taken seriously and mitigated. Nevertheless, you are exaggerating. Many of the more famous constellations such as Orion are naked eye visible in every city I’ve visited.
