“Unless one is a statist that loves the government constant meddling”
You can always refuse the government mandate to adjust your clocks for DST.
But, look out for that Leap Second.
You miss that and the Feds will toss you in the Super Max Prison for life.
The problem with the change is that it is a hassle that government doesn't need to burden the populace with twice a year.
May not be a problem for you, but you aren't everyone, and when you act like you are, that is obnoxious.
There is no reason for many states not to have a single time, all year, and still have daylight in the evenings.
Those that act like they have the solution for everyone just come off as obnoxious.
