I have never heard that argument before. Why does it need to be coordinated instead of a personal choice?

It sounds like a strawman argument.

I've only ever heard the argument of keeping the time fixed and then people can wake up earlier or later depending on their personal preference instead of it being coordinated (mandated) by law.
