Switzerland tried to not adopt DST when the rest of Europe adopted it. It did not go well, they ended up freely choosing to follow. It's not sovereignty, it's just plain common sense. (European countries are generally much more tightly integrated than US states, even more so when you consider things like public transport - it's easy to live a life spanning 3 countries if you live near a border.)

At least they got to choose. I only argue for the choice, not the value of the choice. Finland would likely be wise to keep with the rest of their time zone wrt DST, but I think as an entire country they can make that determination (or fix it if they were wrong) just like the Swiss.
