Why do you need reflectors on the Moon to bounce lasers off from there? They claim Moon rock is so reflective that it bounces Sun light from the surface of the moon and have it light up the ground on Earth during nighttime.
Your car windshield also reflects sunlight but you get better reflection off a mirror. It’s about precision and having the right tool for the job, and not using something that works kinda okay for it.

Lasers allow for precise measurements.
Moon rock already acts as a mirror for sunlight, or so are we told.

So you agree that we can bounce a laser off the surface of the Moon, even without a reflector placed there?
