If you use the general aviation terminal there is no security or boarding passes. You just have to know the tail number of your airplane as a kind of password.
Yeah and I thought we were talking about commercial flights. I get it now
Even still I might rather get on the scheduled 6am flight and know (~90%) that I'll be in the city in time for the meeting than get an extra hour of sleep and potentially be late because there happened to be a rush that morning.
When you don't have guaranteed arrival times, like car commute, you end up leaving the house early anyway just "to beat rush hour" since you never know how long it's actually going to take. Versus guaranteed arrival times, like a commuter train, where you don't have to worry about that.
