Lasers are a very common trigger for light/shadow chasing OCD, especially in the higher drive/more obsessive breeds. If you do a google search on lasers and OCD in dogs you'll get lots of results.

I used to use one a lot before it was stolen. I never had a problem with any neurotic behaviors resulting from it at all.

The problem is that you often don't know if your dog is one at risk for having OCD behaviors triggered by playing with laser lights until it happens. So IMO they are best avoided. If you've ever seen a dog with light/shadow OCD, you'd agree that it is definitely something that you don't want to risk triggering.
