I haven’t used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don’t seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

Most likely a software update should’ve arrived from your phone’s OS vendor, to update the machanism that automatically changes the hour per a specific country/region. My guess is those phones that continued to switch to DST never got the update.
Yeah, I suppose the issue lies with the fact that something like this shouldn’t be tied to OS updates, specially in Android land where most manufacturers stop offering them long before the devices become obsolete.
Indeed, but it is a bit hard to disable DST without some sort of “intervention” from the manufacturer. The code to change DST is already in the phone, at the time when you buy. And let’s assume at a later time, a country decides to abandon DST. The code in your phone needs to be altered by the manufacturer to disable this. Which happens via updates
