It's not all like that. Some just change to be able to do more business with their neighbours.

I particularly like China's model where they just say fuck timezones and put the whole country on one single zone. Everyone is just aware that the sun rises at different times in different parts of the country.

See, I get why they did that, and I'm sure I could get used to that, but... I don't know. It just seems weird to me, and I'm second shift. Lol.

Hell, it's probably just because I'm not used to it, frankly. Familiarity Bias is fun, you know? Hehe.
