The only reason they used a late afternoon departure pre-COVID was because they flew a HND-JFK-NRT-JFK-HND routing, similar to the current ORD schedule. Maybe the NYC business travelers prefer a late afternoon departure?
I assume they're also confined by the time slots given to them from JFK. NYC airspace is some of the most congested in the world (if not the most congested).
