I think it differs amongst children. My 6 year old, was never afraid of the dark. My 5 year old, has been afraid since she was 3. My 3 and 2 year old have no problems with darkness either.
My daughter is 2.5 and she’s been acknowledging outside is “dark” for awhile or that her brother is napping in the dark. Tonight she ran into a room to go get her blanket and the light was off, she yelled it was dark and high-tailed it back to me and wouldn’t let go of me. True terror, I feel so bad.

Around 3yrs of age. She is 8 now and still hates the dark. She has a moon wall lamp that lights up enough to keep the boogyman away.

I don't think my oldest ever was
my 3.5 yo is aware that dark means bedtime we don't use nightlights and he's never had an issue
