So much politics going on in this map.

The eternal UK ๐Ÿค Portugal alliance and the awkward space it creates between them.

Spain and Poland are in the same timezones.

The weird corridor created by Belarus.

Ukraine is in a separate tz from Russia, I wonder when that was established

What the hell is going on with the light blue in the east?

You are correct, the sun would be rising at like 9am, yuck. You've convinced me, I'd rather keep regular time for sure, winters are fine as they are, but the extra sun at night in summer is pointless, while the extra light at night in winter would be nice, it's not the end of the world as it is and a poor trade-off for such dark and grim mornings.

Nah, the sun already rises at 9am for me. With summer time it would rise at close to 10am, but in either case I'm already in the office by then so why should I care?

I'm assuming you live MUCH further south than me, but that's the point I'm trying to make: you'll never gave the Italians, Germans, and Scandinavians agree on a single time zone without DST.
