So much of the discussion that happens around DST always end up coming across to me like they're based on people's subjective experiences that they seem to assume apply universally (or close enough to it to structure society around, with the assumption that only a small fraction of people don't experience things similarly). I don't think things are nearly so simple, and while having issues strong enough to be diagnosed with a condition like the ones I mentioned above is probably not super common, it seems pretty plausible to me that there's a lot more of a spectrum than just "people whose circadian rhythm perfectly matches the sun" and "outliers whose circadian rhythms are designed misaligned with the first group". It just doesn't seem obvious to me that the issue couldn't be that some people have different enough experiences in terms of their circadian rhythms that their optimal clock scheme might be an hour earlier or later than someone else, or that one person might be greatly affected by the total length of the sunlight in the day and another might be completely indifferent to it.

There are a number of disorders[1][2][3][4] that relate to circadian rhythm, and I don't think it's that much of a stretch to imagine that even outside the bounds of a diagnosable condition people's experiences might be a spectrum rather than a binary of "majority of people who would all have the optimal experience with the exact same scheme for how clock time should work" and "small fraction of outliers who wouldn't agree with the obvious best solution that everyone else would". It's absolutely wild to me how many people feel so strongly about the "correct" way to handle this that when examined basically boil down to "well, this is what would make me happy". I don't doubt that people probably are correct about what would work better for them, but I also don't think it's that crazy to think that it might not be that uncommon for two arbitrary people to have optimal clock schemes that differ by an hour or more, or that whether or not their optimal clock scheme might vary direct by the time of year, especially given that the length of sunlight in a day isn't at all uniform at different latitudes.

I don't pretend to know for sure whether DST is right or not, or what the correct hours to pick in the absence of it would be, but I can't help but be skeptical of an argument that it "needs to die and solves no problems" and that a certain time is the "correct" one because "I want <something>". It's totally valid to want and even argue for something, but that's not at all the same as anything else being automatically incorrect when your way of getting it is literally to enforce how time works for millions of people. Phrasing it like that just doesn't make it sound like your arguments are going to be very convincing.
