The moon has the exact same orbital speed as it’s rotation speed. Doesn’t even vary by .0001. It always faces us. And no one is bothered by it.
Tidal lock is a normal and explicable phenomenon! Most of the moons in the Solar system are tidally locked to their planets. Pluto and Charon are tidally locked to one another.
A few years ago, my grandfather read about some moon-related conspiracy theory hinging on the idea that Luna’s tidal lock could only be the outcome of (extraterrestrial!) artifice, and I got to explain to him that it’s been physically explicable since Newton (or so).
Also, it varies by way more than .0001. (0.0001 what? Percent? Seconds? Fortnights?) Over the course of a month, about 59% of the Moon’s surface is visible from Earth:
