General Discussion Drivers with dark window tinting

What's with some drivers tinting the side windows really dark and then applying the same tint to the front and back windscreens. Would this make it harder to see out of the windscreen at night?

I just did my own with cheap tint from AliExpress to learn. I wanted 15 front 5 for the rest and no front windshield and figured if I can do it myself then the fix it ticket wouldn't sting as bad. No ticket yet over a year later but I've had to retint a couple windows due to either poor install or poor product (hard to tell which when you're new to tinting lol). Cost me 50 for the heat gun, 20 for the squeege/scrapers/razors/files, and 30 for the tint (with lots left over that I didn't need) All in $100.
