Well first off, I'm pretty sure I said this already but I'll re-state it: this is my theory.
But if the theory is correct, it's because earthquakes cause guilds to fight over mobs, and when guilds fight over mobs they need GMs to show up and resolve those fights.
I'm not saying it's guaranteed, but I imagine every earthquake there's a decent chance that two major guilds to get into it. I don't think the staff wants that happening, and going on for hours, without any chance for them to intervene.

Okay, I hear ya. Here is what I think about that:
From my experience raid disputes are usually being handled by the guild officers. Usually people demand fraps and then exchange fraps and come in most cases up with a solution themselves. Usually they're mad at each other for weeks and that's the end of the story. If they don't come up with the solution usually petitions are filed AFTERWARDS including fraps of both parties. So there are barely any "on the spot" deicisions.
The one and only occasion I can remember where GMs took actions right on the spot changing the very present quake immediately was when Tempest was told to leave ToV (I might be wrong here that there were more occasions).
Soooo assuming GMs wouldn't have time to watch a 3 pm EST quake, I would argue there isn't the need to watch a 3 pm EST quake.
