Some people go out of their way to make this job harder than it needs to be.
yup. We don’t operate into airports without ARFF at arrival and departure. Depart early in JAC? Nope, arff not til 6 (as I remember). For arff to be operational, they have requirements, which includes airport conditions- included the OP fears. With the FO here. Those stations may not have a tower open, but services are provided and trusted in that duties are done.
