Because 12:00 is not the middle of the waking day, at least in western countries. It's closer to the first third or so.

So? I genuinely can't figure out why people keep bringing this up.

If you want clock noon in "the middle of the waking day", for some reason, then by your on admission, permanent-DST (+1hr) isn't going to solve your problem, either.

Once you decouple clock noon from physical noon, I don't see why it has to be 1 hour, or even a multiple of 1 hour.
