What difference does it make? If people want to get up later or especially earlier, they can, no matter what the 'official' time is.
For an example: Spaniards and Poles are officially in the same timezone, but the Spaniards do everything 'late'. At least when you only look at the clocks; not so much when you look at the sun.
They "can" if they don't have jobs that demand they stick to arbitrary hours.
Sure, social coordination is always a thing.
In any case, most people can get up earlier, if they want to.
