Depends on the service and industry. Banking adjacent companies are often allowed downtime off US business hours. Even at big tech companies I've run internal services that had business hours support only (nonproduction sandboxes, non-business-impacting services, long running job services with SLOs measured in hours or days)

Honestly as a consumer this pisses me off. I get home for the day, relax, eat dinner, and log into the bank to check my finances at 8pm and east coast banks throw up a "scheduled downtime for upgrades" notice.
