This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can’t seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

Who fucking cares? Get blackout curtains if that matters.
I personally have the opposite problem during DST. Because night doesn’t start until 11pm or later where I live from DST, I can’t fall asleep until 12am or later. This is because light blocks the production of melatonin in the body. To fix the problem, I would have to set up blackout curtains all through my house (instead of just my bedroom) and close them all at 9pm just so I can go to bed at 10pm.
Also, removing DST gets rid of the stupid time change without increasing the risk of kids getting run over while walking to school, which is what we’d get if DST was year round.
