It's simple, our bodies are made for standard time and deal with permanent standard time much better than permanent daylight saving time.

"They downvoted Kecessa, because he told them the truth"

(Seriously guys, there is actual science about when we should get up. And with our current socially accepted timings (when we have to show up to work, when school starts) standard time is just better for our bodies than shifted standard time. If you want to wake up early, just do some chores in the morning, but most people would prefer work to start later.)
