For the record I actually have come to like DST transitions (particularly in the era of computers where every device I have sets its own clock), but I'd also be fine with having no DST.
I am not a fan of permanent DST.
Here's the Sun Graph for New York City: https://timeanddate.com/sun/usa/new-york
Notice how the DST transition keeps sunrise relatively constant? That's actually a decent feature, particularly for people like me (and people with young children) who tend to get up with the sun.
Civil time is a coordination game, so "leave time alone and just get up later" is more complicated than you think.
Imagine how it would look if everyone kept acting the same way we do now but the clocks don't change. Everyone would need to post summer hours!
