one other factor is dynamic range of the scene, where we can see some details in the moon with naked eye, but in the photo without heavy post processing it will basically look like white circle, if you also want to have any other details in the scene other than the moon

there is also phenomenon called telephoto compression often used with the moon.

the telephoto thing just looks like we’re about to die or something
Dynamic range might play a role indeed.
I don’t “Telephoto compression” really applies here and I’m pretty sure that photo comparison you included is edited
you mean the one with three moons? indeed it is, there are no three moons in the wild…
I meant that the size of the moon in these photos is edited and the actual effect would not look like that, so it’s misleading
well looking at the missing reflection on the water, you might be right. nevertheless, the effect is real and the image illustrates it well.
