> In Sweden, with DST, the sunrise is at 4am in summer and 8am in winter.

In Sweden, in summer without DST, sunrise in Stockholm would happen ~2:30 AM. In the current system, with DST, sunrise happens around 3:30 AM, an improvement.

In winter, if Sweden kept permanent DST (which is what many advocate for), sunrise in December would happen at around 9:45 AM. In the current system (shifting time back during winter), it happens around 8:45 AM, a more reasonable time.

You realize you're literally proving my point?

> Just set it so noon is actually noon.

Pretty meaningless to advocate for this, then every longitude would have its own timezone, defeating the purpose of timezones.
