No, it’s bizarre to suggest "7:00 am" should mean sunrise for everyone, regardless of their location - it’s impossible to achieve.

The goal is that 12:00 is pretty close to noon, which is reasonably possible.

(And even though lining up a time with morning would be significantly more annoying and need to exclude the polar circles, I still wouldn't call it "impossible".)
