Yeah, well...

That's the disadvantage of handling it at the political level:

There is no discernible upper limit to how stupid politicians can be about timezones.

Apart from 15 minute and 30 minute deltas, there is a clear tendency to make changes with far too short notice.

The good news is that stupid timezone decisions can only hurt the
geographical area controlled by the politicians, so there is a
feedback-mechanism in place.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
