No, most people don't realize there is no stereo separation because the
lit
stereo light convinces them it is stereo when it is not.

Let's not forget about modern FM car radios. My car's radio blends from
stereo to mono quite seamlessly as signals become less than ideal. If I pay
attention, I'll notice that the reception is in weak stereo or full mono
much of the time. That's preferable because there's practially no distorted
audio, abrupt switches from stereo to mono and picket fencing that come with
full time stereo car radios. All the while, the stereo light never blinks
off.

The stereo indicator only lights when a 19KHz pilot carrier is present.
The program material could be monophonic or stereo.
