I’m confused. This is true from every angle from which you look at the wall right? So there has to be quadratically less reflection than e.g. a mirror, but still a lot more then a completely black surface.

The inverse squared falloff from a diffuse surface is not enough to prevent eye damage if you're in a regular-sized room, and playing with a class IV laser, or even some class IIIb lasers (depending on the distance, and the duration).
