One word...Preppers! Before long, they may outnumber the weed growers.
They want lots of fresh vegetables year round. Doing it indoors "up
here" would give three crops per year. In GA my son gets two crops per
year outdoors, but he usually has to cover the second crop a few times
If our home was larger, I'd use the newer methods of growing without
soil. Here? We don't have a garden, indoors or out.
Growing up on the farm, we rarely needed to go to town. My mother had a
large garden and a fruit cellar.
A indoor garden, even with the extra cost pretty much removes the
worries about food in case of winter storms, or possible disasters.

Seems, to me, at least likely, only one reason why it is there...

I used to have powered up for 12 hours a day. I never started them

or to get mares fertile earlier - you want that January foal so it's
three months older than all the other horses of the same "horsey age"
(which rolls over at New Years) (and equine gods forbid your mare starts
to deliver on 31 Dec... You'll have a 150 lb "one year old" on your
hands)
. or to fake your horse into shedding out their winter coat early.
Of course, you don't need "big bright lights" for that function...
Lots of legitimate reasons to drive photoperiod.
Not a lot of legitimate reasons to radiate RFI
