Except that it doesn’t. Take a look at daylight data for 20 Dec here www.timeanddate.com/sun/uk/london

Daylight: 08:03 - 15:53

That’s ST obv. Now let’s convert it to DST, that will be 9:03 - 16:53. Let’s say you work a standard 9-5 job. Well, 9:03 is after you start working and 16:53 is before you finish. Thus you get ZERO daylight during the day in DST. You get almost an hour in the morning with ST.

Now let’s move further away from equator www.timeanddate.com/sun/latvia/riga

Daylight: 08:59 - 15:43

Well, DST is a perma fucking depression now as you’re robbed from the very few minutes you had before.

How about further North www.timeanddate.com/sun/finland/helsinki

Daylight: 09:23 - 15:12

No wonder Finland has such high suicide rates during winter…

P.S. It is also worth noting that daylight grows the closer you get to the equator and it grows in the morning, not in the evening. You can see from the examples above that their evening difference is smaller than the morning one. There’s just no point having DST.
