The slightly flippant answer is "because days start at midnight".

It's a consequence of the way DVB defined it. At midnight (GMT), you have to throw away the data for the day just ended, then move day 1 to day 0, day 2 to day 1, and so on. If it was delayed to 4am, you'd have no guide data for 4 hours.
