That would mean lots of separate changes, including things that are
regulated by time, such as licencing hours (which, incidentally, were
introduced here in the same Act of Parliament as DST, and for the same
reason).

A single, well documented, change to clocks is a lot simpler than every
business and organisation having date-dependent trading hours.
