Because the trade off isn’t worth it.
While it’s nice having extra sunshine in the morning or evening depending on the time of year, it is quite disruptive, especially with kids and working with teams across timezones etc.
But more importantly, people actually die from it. Consistently, and predictably. I can’t in good conscience support a policy which is merely “nice” for me but will literally cause other people to die.

Purely annecdotally, I definitely haven’t done any serious research on this, but I work in 911 dispatch and every time we change the clocks it seems like we get more weird calls from people who probably have mental health issues for a few days. My pet theory is that it screws up some of their medication schedules and/or throws off their circadian rhythms.
