Re: I'm confused... like Paris...
Remember it doesn’t have to hit the pilot’s eyes directly to be a danger. Hitting the cockpit windscreen at an oblique angle would cause enough incidental reflections to drastically reduce visibility - even if the pilot wasn’t injured, they would struggle to maintain effective night vision. Depending on the phase of the landing process, this could be anywhere from mildly to extremely dangerous.
Besides, there’s no legitimate reason to shine a laser at or near an aircraft. So banning it makes total sense in my book - even if the chance of an actual accident is low.
