One could argue on a business though. A UPS truck is only going to deliver when you're awake.

Sure, yes the back-office of passing the item through processing centres require 24/7 operation's for the delivery to reach from left side of the country to the right but if we were not conditioned to accept 24/7 as a thing, do you really need X in next day delivery when if XYZ CompShop was open and sold the same item for a reasonable/same price at a reasonable time for you?

24/7 provides convenience but convenience isn't always the greatest nor always the best. It's these businesses that make the price high for the local causing them to suffer per-se because we expect it all now.
