Actually it does, which is often the cause of the misconception. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon
So the correct expression would be: Far side / Dark side ≠ Shadow side.

Other explained this in more detail, but TLDR:
The moon waxes and wanes from earth’s perspective throughout the month, yet half the moon is always facing the sun. Just being tidally locked doesn’t mean it doesn’t get sun.
As someone else said:
Dark Side ≠ Far Side

Yeah, it makes a lot more sense when you consider that the far side has to be lit during an eclipse.

Solar eclipse. The near side is blocked from being lit in a lunar eclipse
