Reading lights are fine on night flights as it doesnt bother as many people.
In a dark interior plane cabin, an open shade window can affect people on the other side of the wide body plane.
Inconsiderate to do that.
That's why there are reading lights.

It's each passenger's responsibility to be prepared for the likely eventualities of air travel, including noise and light at inopportune times. No reason to blame others if you're not adequately prepared.
