If I’m reading the parent correctly, they Want to switch to non-summer time and adjust opening hours to be effectively like summer time, forever.

I think PC is proposing using the natural time zone, and adjusting hours if you need sunlight to operate. Summer time is awful because different latitudes have different hours of sunlight, yet all are forced to the least common denominator.
Cities closer to the poles might want to adjust more than one hour, or none at all since they see little sunlight for months anyway. Cities near the equator might not need to adjust at all. Businesses that need to be synchronized could still coordinate their operating hours. It's the most natural approach is DST had never existed.
I wonder what the earliest sunrise time would be as a result, 2am?
The earliest sunrise is that the sun does not set, which happens every summer for all the cities and towns north of the polar circle
