Winter sucks anyways when you live in the north. I grew up at 56 degrees north and you are cooked no matter what is done. Better to optimize April-October.

Okay but conversely, in summer when there's lots of sunlight, the benefit of an extra hour, while not zero, isn't that significant.

We tried permanent DST in the US in the 1970s. People hated it.
