You'd have to re-negotiate every time you work with a new client. Are they on 9-5? Or 10-6? When can we schedule that weekly call? Businesses have no incentive to go through this headache, so they won't.

We already shift our working hours twice a year with practically no issues. Let's just not switch back once.

My experience is that these meeting coordinations still have to happen. Even within your own company, in the same office building.
