I'd fight tooth and nail for them not to take an hour of sunlight from me during summer evenings.

It is not roughly the same if the sun rises an hour earlier instead, at 04:30 instead of 05:30.

I don't get up before 08:30 and I will not somehow adjust my schedule by three hours to use the sunlight in the morning.

The sun rises when it rises, it has nothing to do with the clock. How does what the clock say take an hour of sunlight away from you? It is surely your employer doing that not the clock.

My employer, my family, the TV's schedule, or whatever else.

At the end of the day I lose an hour of sunlight without good reason.

Given your fervor, I presume that you've taken pains to live as far west as you can while still being within the geographic bounds of your time zone?

No, because contrary to keeping Daylight Savings Time as it is, that would come with other tradeoffs.
