Default To Light or Not to Light a Birdcage

I was considering adding a pool onto the house and noticed I don't have a flood light or socket for one off the lanai. I noticed when looking that some homes have floodlights and not solar, so I assume they were installed when built or afterward. In an informal spot check I noticed homes with pools or large birdcages seem to have about a 34/66 split (34% have some sort of wall or eave lighting for the birdcage area and 75% do not). Is there a reason such as small bugs, or whatever why there is no lighting in the pool areas? Maybe privacy? But one can always turn it off.
Can I please get some thoughts on if lights should be installed and if so, who would do it?
