Does the sun going down at 430 vs 530 really make much of a difference in how people live their lives in the winter? I doubt there is any appreciable difference in how active people are.
Even in the summer, except for things like golf, it’s mostly BS. No one doesn’t go out for supper or go for a walk or whatever just because it’s dark at 9 instead of 10. It certainly doesn’t affect people who live closer to the equator.
There’s nothing wrong with people wanting to get off work when it’s light out. I don’t know why they don’t just say that. But they aren’t more active in that extra hour.

For me it's the mental aspect of it.
Sun goes down and I subconisously start to wind down and get ready for sleep.
I get energy off the sunlight and heat. Cold weather and dark evenings drain me.
So am I outside for that 'extra hour' maybe not. But am I awake and productive during that 'extra hour'? Yes, I am.
The other day my wife asked if I could run to Walmart for her. I told her I'm already in my pyjamas, exhausted and ready for bed. We checked the time... 6:30. That doesn't happen in the summer haha.
