There are only a certain amount of hours in a day that you can be actively chasing something. Your energy depletes, places close, sun goes down. So it doesn't matter if you get up at 4AM or at 10AM, what matters is the active hours you give yourself. The 4AM person is probably going to sleep earlier than the 10AM, so it equals out.
The only real catch about this all is the simple fact society is based around the sun, and so if you are someone who wants to get up extremely late (2PM+), you have to work harder to accommodate. But those are very rare outside of health conditions. Even most night owls who say they're not a morning person, tend to wake up before 12PM purely because of how society functions. They can't have meetings when others are asleep!
Although the interesting part is how much this changes in the future, with increasing levels of remote work and automation to compensate.

See Mark Cuban, Alexis Ohanian, Rihanna, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. All of them wake up around the ~7-9AM timeframe rather than the super early ones aiming for ~3-5AM. These 7-9 risers tend to go to bed around 10pm-12. There are some major super early risers of course, like Tim Cook. However he goes to bed much earlier at around ~8PM. So you can see how he's trading ~3 hours in the evening for ~3 hours in the morning (contrasting against Satya Nadella's 7AM-11PM schedule [16hrs equal]).
