      To paraphrase Picard from that one episode where they find the frozen people:

      This is the 24th century, material needs no longer exist. The challenge is to improve yourself.

      They’re there because they see it as a way to improve themselves. So they want to be on time whenever they don’t have other issues that are part of a storyline.
