In other words, almost any given spot on the moon sees two weeks of continuous daylight followed by two weeks of continuous darkness.

I see your point but there is still a slow sunrise and sunset. Lasts 2 weeks. But you put that well since apparently the moon's axis is perpendicular to the sun. According to your description anyway.
