Many countries allow you to fly at night without an IFR rating, including the US, Canada, UK, and most of western Europe.

One this is to allow flying and the other is if you actually should. Accident rate in low-end bracket of flying is very high (higher than roads and other forms of transport combined) and a huge chunk of accidents is due to inexperience of the pilots.

Which was what to do with what? The question was regarding the definition of IFR, and I offered a clarifying statement that IFR does not typically prohibit flight at night. In fact, the US requires that 3 of your 40 hours (for PPL) be at night.
It's literally a requirement for a basic VFR PPL.
