Because most people roll out of bed and go to work for 8-9 hours and would like to see some sunlight before they roll back into bed.

When there's less than 8 hours of sunlight, you're not getting any outside of work hours. Sunlight is too valuable to be used for personal time.

Most jobs don't depend on the sun, which is why most office workers don't get to enjoy windows.

The jobs that do already have seasonally shifting hours.

Permanent daylight time means that by default, everyone gets to enjoy more sun. Permanent winter time means that by default, everyone gets to enjoy one less hour of daylight by default, unless their company is charitable enough to shift their hours.
