A westbound TATL in Y is fine for me, especially if I can get an exit row, but much longer than that or overnight, and I really want J.
I think thats fine if thats your preference, but saying you can't see any reason why anyone would feel otherwise seemed a bit supercilious. Some people have no trouble falling asleep in Y.
