I think that's more a reflection on society making most night folks force themselves into a day routine.

I'm definitely a nighttime person. Left to my own devices, I quickly revert into going to bed around 6am and waking up at 3pm or so. That said, it's impractical to have the career I want and actually do that, so I've managed to force myself into a normal-ish rhythm.

There are a large number of shitty paying jobs with a nightshift, but far fewer decent paying ones that will accomodate that kind of flexibility.. and even then the stepping stones to actually get there usually don't share the same flexibility.

There's also what OP says. I grew up hearing that sleeping in that late is "bad" and "lazy". Its a relatively common view.

Yeah, like most stores and banks should be open when the rest of us aren't at work.  I've worked overnights before.  Nothing is open.  You basically have to go home and wait until 8am or so.  I worked second shift 3-11 too and no one understood my staying up until 6 or 7am and sleeping until 2pm.  Like, would you want to work at the end of your day and go home and go to bed immediately after work?  You're too wound up after work to sleep and you'd be too tired to work and then drive home at night.
