The midnight release in the Eastern timezone doesn't help either. I'd assume this is convenient for West coasters. And probably excludes Europeans altogether.

I'm making mass general assumptions here...

They unlock at 6 in central european time (5 in UK).

This is the only month of the year when I will consistently get out of bed at 5:55, give the puzzles up to 2.5 hours, then have breakfast and get ready for work.

Personally I find it super convenient since I and many of my close colleagues begin work so late, but I also know a lot of people who would be on their commute to work at that time.

No, most of the Europeans I talked to spend an hour or two before work. (2019 was my first time and I did that as well)
