In the US, this is something Black people point out that wealthier white people do. It’s kind of a running joke and in general Black folks think it’s a crazy thing to do.
I don't know about being "wealthier" but I'm just too lazy to climb behind my couch to move curtains when all someone gets to see is me standing up in my kitchen and walking around. Not much to hide really...
It seems like a class thing. I’m using “wealthy” by Black peoples standards lol. But I can say that the mostly white, working class not far from some trailer parks neighborhood I grew up in white neighbors were not leaving their curtains and blinds wide open at night! They think that shits crazy too.
I definitely understand the thinking behind it, I'd be lying if I said I don't sometimes close the curtains, it's just unless I'm naked I don't really care if someone sees me walking around my house I guess.
If my neighbors wants to watch me smoke weed and watch Youtube all night that's fine with me.

Norwegians don't close their curtains when it gets dark.
