I’ll do you one better. Sun rises at 6:30am for all time zones. Vast majority of clocks are digital now and can simply autocorrect at 3am each time zone.

This is the rarely-expressed exact opposite of DST abolition: literally do micro-DST every single day to keep local time adjusted to sunrise (though I would just do sunrise = 0:00). I actually... kinda respect it?

Some precedent in ancient chinese timekeeping:

What if we went radically the other direction and simply got used to the sun being at different positions everywhere on earth at different times?

It’s not like a majority still winds their watch and syncs it up with the village clock tower while walking to lunch from work anymore

We could just make UTC global

This works for me too!

First step is making UTC the unambiguous standard for scheduling online events and calls. No more of this "let's have a call at 17:30 PST / 04:30 your time" nonsense. Everyone only needs to remember one fact - how many hours ahead/behind of UTC they are - and it all works.

Then go from there.
