Because of course all companies exist in the same time zone as all their clients... Have you ever worked at a SaaS company? Having customers from around the world is literally a thing from day 1, especially if you are not US or (to a lesser extent already) EU based. Try starting a SaaS company in Australia and see how far "doesn't matter if it goes down at 3am" gets you.

Starting a company in Australia and targeting a completely different timezone and not staff support at 3am when traffic is heaviest seems like gambling.
