The valid argument is usually about safety. Many people, especially children are travelling to go to work or school and sunrise at 7:20, feels a little unsafe for many people. That extra hour in the morning helps.

But daylight saving time is exactly the opposite! It adds an hour to the evening. If you want sunrise to be earlier, you have to use non-DST. Or even anti-DST and move the clock an hour back from regular time.
