Fair enough, although my statement was more about the amount of sunlight they get per day, for all days of the year versus someone closer to the poles having to adjust to constant fluctuations.
You're right when you say that they get ~12 hours every single day, but their clocks would still have to account for the slight changes (by a few minutes) in time for the sunrise. Which means changing their clocks everyday/every few days, based on the sunrise. But for what? They anyway get ~12 hours sunlight, so it's not a worthy tradeoff for them, compared to someone in Massachusetts.
If only humans worked like batteries, soaking up the summer sun to use it in winters..
