In Europe daylight saving started, depending on country I suppose, during WWI and then again after the 1973 oil crisis. This was to save energy and it has been saving a lot of energy although apparently changes in technology and habits mean that savings are decreasing. It's that time year so plenty of articles on the topic. For example, read one saying that official stats in France show that daylight saving saved 440GWh in 2009. So certainly not absurd. With the climate crisis, net zero, EVs, etc it seems like a bad time to abolish it if it indeed does save significant amounts of energy.
