Pretty much all that stuff.

All servers are taken down at the same time, and the people handling the upgrade are in Japan.

They schedule the weekday maintenance to end during prime time in Japan (typically around 7pm) for convenience of their workers and their core player base.

This is also the least active times for NA and EU servers.

It's a numbers game, you can either inconvenience 10% of the player base 100% of the maintenance times, or 100% of the player base 25% of the maintenance times.
