I recognize that this is probably an unpopular opinion but I live for the days when the sun sets at 9pm.

DST really factors in quite well for night owls like myself. I'm aware there is a strong degree of detraction in terms of complicating time keeping and body clock adjustments.

It makes the daylight stretch into what we conventionally consider the night. In the winter, I'm always somewhat a little sad that the sun sets before I even leave the office (~4-4:30pm), but I'm always in a much better mood in the summer when I leave the office at 5pm and still have hours of daylight left in the day.

The late evening sunset in the summer is a godsend for anyone who has a day job and has projects they need to work on outdoors. It's like having every weekday followed by a Saturday afternoon for productivity purposes.

I'm not particularly a night owls but sunset at 9 PM or 10 PM in June is much better than wasting sunlight when people are sleeping at 5 or 6 AM (which is my country is pretty much all of us.) I'll vote for permanent summer time if we'll have to make a choice by holding a referendum.
