I have never heard that argument before. Why does it need to be coordinated instead of a personal choice?

One of the primary functions of time keeping is coordination between people. The fact that nobody currently exerts their personal preference to not observe daylight savings time would indicate that the social forces overrule individual preference in this domain.
It sounds like a strawman argument.

I've only ever heard the argument of keeping the time fixed and then people can wake up earlier or later depending on their personal preference instead of it being coordinated (mandated) by law.
