Changing working hours would be decided by individual businesses and inconsistencies on this would be a logistical nightmare. Delivery of materials are suddenly an hour later and you have a bunch of people standing around with nothing to do. Or maybe it’s earlier than usual and it comes before your business is open.
Signage about business hours would have to be changed twice per year. A customer not aware of the change in business hours may show up too early or two late.
And it would be an insane amount of work to change all the schedules of automated systems to conform with business hour changes that happen twice per year.
So to avoid these kinds of problems you need the entire society to change their schedules consistently. It’s easier to change the clocks than to change everything other than the clocks.

And yet, flex hours somehow exist anyway. It depends on the job.
Thats a whole different set of expectations though
Seasonal opening hours are not something new.
Cool, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
