The thing about DST is it makes every scheduled event move, all at the same time.

It shifts my contracted start time at work, my first meeting, when places start serving lunch, when my kid needs to get to ballet class, when my sportsball club meets, and when the supermarket closes. All at once.

Lawmakers changing the time shown on clocks is, I think, a lot easier than society changing the social contract.
