Not everyone gets to choose whether to work at a job that keeps them up late.
I think optimal church hours would let everyone whose schedule isn’t extremely nightshifted sleep in at least a little for the weekend, then have breakfast, and make it to church without rushing.
I would argue that starting before 10:00 is optimal, it’s our modern habit of being ridiculously night-shifted that isn’t.
It doesn’t matter what should be, the fact is people are night shifted, and we have to work with that.

That argument can be trivially modified as an argument against any particular time.
Only if you don’t care about the actual quantitative component. Quite a lot more people are still at work at 10:00 pm than at 3:00 am.
