Do our ocean tides not completely depend on the moons gravity?

We couldn't mine the moon fast enough to affect the tides in any appreciable timescale

Would be a problem if the moon got closer because tides would be more extreme but not if the moon shattered, that would just get rid of tides if it eventually turned into a ring
