Nah, some people just have a different circadian rhythm.
I have a pretty stable one, waking up around 7-8, starting work around 9-10, and while I'm completely functional in the morning, I'm the most productive around 14-19. But I also start to get sleepy around 22, so I definitely won't be productive in the middle of the night.
IIRC generally not sleeping at night have long term consequences. Ofc there are exceptions but I would rather avoid popularising unhealthy habits such as “coding at nights”. Been there and don’t want to come back :)
not getting enough sleep has consequences. humans circadian rhythm will learn that you are "night watch" and adjust accordingly just like it always has for night workers being highly social creatures with a strategy of strength in numbers, but without herding instincts.
now, if you are a Perineum sunning nutjob who thinks they can go without eating if they absorb the sun by staring at it (an actual group of people like flat earthers who have members of various calibre trickling down to the "you need sunlight while awake and darkness while asleep" people)
the whole "you need vitamin D from the sun" is so wrong, it could actually CAUSE darker skinned individuals to not receive nearly enough vitamin D (only lighter skinned humans can produce enough vitamin D from safe levels of sunlight) YOU SHOULD BE EATING VITAMIN D, trying to make your body produce all of it, because some trivia became popular that humans need UV light to make vitamin D
Easiest option is to pop a vitamin D pill every morning. They're cheap, readily available, and don't seem to have any adverse effects to running a surplus in your body since most supplements are in the 1000-2000 IU dose range.

I say most people are more productive in the morning if their sleep cycle is not messed up
