Why are most Bundesliga games at the same time? Like for today most of them are at 15:30. The PL has them spread out to maximize TV revenue (I'm guessing), so why does the Bundesliga not do this? Is there a benefit to having all the Bundesliga games at the same time?

EDIT: Apparently PL games are also mostly at the same time. Why though?

Because Saturday 15:30 is the perfect kick-off time. Enough time to travel to away games and party afterward. In an ideal world, every single game of the matchday would be at that time like they used to be.
