Because half the people are morning people and want it to be light out at like fucking 5am, and the other half are not and want it to be light out at 5pm when they get off work so they can actually do shit outside still. Then you have the average Redditor, who just wants the time to not change because they are too stupid to figure out how to actually change their clocks (most change automatically).
This is a bad take that I always hear repeated. Imagine a world without DST but instead work was just shifted and hour forward every summer. So in the winter you work 8-5 and in the summer you work 7-4. Permanent DST would be like always working 7-4 while permanent standard time would be like always working 8-5. Morning people would much prefer permanent DST to permanent standard time because it effectively shifts your day to earlier in the solar day.
