I live in Europe. As far as I remember, the proposal to abolish DST was already voted in the European parliament some time before the COVID pandemic, and the next steps were for the countries to chose their time zones and implement the change. Then the pandemic happened and this was put on hold.

Probably, there is also some analysis paralysis: it is just hard to chose between keeping the winter or the summer time. Just look at this thread: morning birds cannot agree with night owls, someone leaving a bit to the west disagrees with those leaving in the east of the same country...

I wish we'd just settle on any choice. At this point I care much less about "winter vs summer time", more about abolishing DST itself. Twice a year I have a small jet lag for nothing.
