I thought it was going to be more about the “professional cost” - the perception that someone who works late is working harder. If one works 6AM-4PM instead of 10AM-8PM, for example, it looks to the later shift like they’re slacking off.

To be fair I’ve also seen the opposite where people who start late and work late get seen as lazy because nobody sees them up late.
