It is, particularly since there is a) a premium price on the rental (3-5x last I checked) for that one day b) rental windows are shrunk (3-4 hours max is typical) and c) rentals are reserved back-to-back-to-back, such as 6-10,10-2,2-6,6-10,but often returned late, which trickles down. So last moves often end in the wee morning hours. Doubly fun when you're waiting on the previous tenant to get out before you can get your stuff in.

The same is true when using movers and moving companies, assuming you can find any with availability.

I have to imagine the moving truck rental companies must summon nearly every vehicle in the fleet to one city for one day of the year.

This seems so insane. Do the advantages even come close to outweighing the headaches this scheme causes? What happens when July 1 is rainy?

Madness and also inefficient.
