Eli5: Why do laser mounts of guns exist?

I understand that it makes you more accurate because it shows a dot where you are shooting. But dont they give away location and enemies know where you are shooting, thus they can flank you?

The lasers in movies where there is a long green line in front of the gun aren’t real. Or, at least aren’t normal. Maybe that’s what it looks like if you’re wearing night vision goggles or something.

The “laser scopes” I’ve seen for hunting, you don’t see anything except the dot that is on the intended target.
