The question is "Why should contracts specify the exact time?"
If you sign a contract with valid stipulations, of course you're required to abide by it, but the subject of the conversation is this specific stipulation.
The claim is that "requiring you to be at work at 7" is an outdated norm.
Because it is much easier to make that sort of contract than measure some objective "work done" metric. Unless you're hoping to be signing piecework/work by tender contracts all the time.
My employer mandates 40h of work per week and a core working time where all employees are supposed to be available. No fixed hours required. I don't see how fixing hours is easier than that.
And ultimately, that is my point: Why set fixed times, if the time itself doesn't actually matter?
It can be that the employer just considers it easiest for them.
