You're right and this is the single dumbest argument I see all the time for why we need the clock switch.

It's far easier to change the local office hours for workplaces and schools during winter time as needed. For extreme northern areas, they could even move it by more than one hour. It can be their choice! Let the work hours be decided locally rather than a blanket rule for the poles and equator. Match our behavior to the daylight rather than the other way round - you know, like every other species on Earth



Public transport schedules need to be adjusted, too, and local networks often tie into regional networks, which in turn tie into the national network (where such a thing exists). Each municipality choosing its own date for switching could cause a lot of complications in that regard.
