Benefits are highly regional. Where I live, the current latest sunrise is 8:06 am on December 5. I can't imagine a sunrise after 9am being very fun.

Agreed. I bet a lot of places would simply switch timezones if DST was removed.

And some places should actually just be in different timezones.

In Boston the latest sunrise is at 7:15am on Jan 2nd. However, the earliest sunset is at 4:11pm on December 6th.

If it were 8:15am to 5:11pm at the worst on either end, I know I at least would be less irritable.

I grew up with my shortest "daylight day" starting at about 08:40 and finishing at about 14:50. This basically meant that both morning and evening commute happened in basically darkness. No matter of time-shifting would've accomplished "get both ends of the school/work-day in daylight", although making them shorter would've worked.
