I don't think enough people realize how insane it is to ask people to change their entire routine twice a year to accommodate... who exactly? Every group I've heard it's meant to help has in my experience either been apathetic or hostile to it when it comes up.

I agree, but that doesn't really work outside a city in the USA, given how little we invest in public transit. The entire economy in outlying areas would go to shit because everyone has to drive an hour to get to work.
I liked the detail that they're not just throwing themselves at you over and over, but actually went back and reexplored the world to find better equipment.
