Why? Can't people adjust their schedules as needed?

Schools don't have to always start at the same time? And many jobs also not?

It's not like 9-17 work hours are set on stone?

And coordinating that change would be easier you think?
Coordinating that change for the RELEVANT parties, yes. IMHO that's a tiny part of a society.

Instead of everyone EVERYONE having to adjust clocks and their natural schedules. I think (and some studies agree with me) the stress and negative effects of that switching twice a year is much more on aggregate.

I don't personally see any benefit from daylight savings. But I also live at around 60+ degrees North: at peak summertime there is 19 hours of full daylight (barely gets dark the other hours), wintertime less about 5. Daylight saving does not really make a dent.
