Because currently the time difference is always the same because Europe observes DST. If they stop and we keep it, the time difference will be different at different times of year, which is an added complication.

Maybe a slight inconvenience but not majorly so. So they're an hour ahead in France half the year and in the other half we're the same time, it's not that difficult to navigate surely

Incorrect. They're always ahead bc both them and UK change times almost at the same time.
