Was your flight a day- or a nightflight, and what about the daylight outside?
There is for sure no rule to close the sunshades just because the flight is a bit bumpy. Such a rule doesn't just make sense.
YVR-FRA, departs 1600hrs, about 60 minutes into the flight. I fly that route often and it is very smooth most of the year. I wouldn't say that the mild turbulence was anything worse than I have felt on other routes.
And it was still the start of meal service, daylight outside, and I was about the only person in C sleeping (or trying to) at that point, I believe. Still, it did result in shades closed for longer than usual at least.
