The odd that something will happen somewhere is extremely high during that time period of the week.

Even in perfectly normal conditions, a 10pm arrival time - especially with luggage to haul - would mean checking in at a hotel hardly before midnight. Sure, some food can be found, drinks be had at that time, but then getting up at 9am at latest again to catch a 12am flight, would mean cutting on sleep (or not even being tired due to jetlag)
Such a layover calls for "airport hotel" in any case, and in most cities in the world, unless you really know what you're doing and possibly have exact plans already.

And for most travellers, it would be to maximize rest time. FT bunch are a bit different than average travellers, though
