The same reason half of Europe has closed shops on Sunday, worker protection.
You need strong laws to not have businesses abusing and pressuring peoples to work the shity 14h shift till morning for earning a peanut.
And workers protection law + North America are not often put in the same sentence.
Also it’s generally not worth it business wise. Paying salaries and more from 2 to 4 (or 6am or whatever) to sell two beers means losing money. You might have a few festive nights here and there, but most of the weeks/months you’ll have an empty bar so even the owners are not pushing for it.

Allowing bars to stay open is not the same as requiring them to stay open. Owners won’t keep a bar open 24 hours if there isn’t any business.
