To be fair, it isn't really that big of a deal. However, it wouldn't be that hard to stop playing around with the clocks either.

I'm in Northern Europe and the early onset of afternoon darkness in winter is too real to not complain about it.

But that's the problem, right? The extra hour of sunshine we get thanks to DST in the spring & summer is exactly what most people want to get rid of.
Not really. People don’t want to change clocks. And I doubt anyone really has an issue with long light evenings in the summer. But at least some number of people, especially in the North, don’t want it to be pitch black in the winter when they’re getting up, kids are waiting for school buses, etc.
I didn't mean that to be the main point but yes, I would prefer DST.
