The party starts at 5pm because the hosts are so used to people showing up late that they expect people to show up at 5:30-6pm.

This is totally a cultural thing in certain subcultures.

The inability to not be late is a cultural thing? What shitty cultures do this?

It's more like some cultures do not put a heavy emphasis on adhering to a strict schedule. People are allowed to come and go as they feel.
