I understand, it's down to personal preference in the end. It just seems silly to me that people insist that high noon be exactly at 12 PM, it never actually happens and it's impractical unless you live in South-East Asia where people get up at 5 AM. The West has a relatively late daily schedule so late daylight only makes sense.
You are leaving out farmers. They get-up-and-go because the herds and the crops get-up-and-grow. Solar time is all that nature cares about, and farmers have no option in the matter.
I also know that where I worked (industry in a major city), many office workers would deliberately rise at 4 AM in order to beat the morning rush to get in at 6 AM, and leave by 2 PM to get ahead of the afternoon rush. (Or they do it to coordinate with team members scattered across the continent.) I had to get up pretty early even to simply stick with the normal hours.
Actually, my beef is with financial institutions that are not 24/7. If you are trying to handle an international problem, it is infuriating in the extreme to dial up a service number and get brushed off by office hours. Emergencies don't wait for office hours, especially when they are happening halfway around the world.
Fair point
