Why can't we have endless summers and zero winters?

Some people enjoy winter. But then some people also enjoy diving with sharks. Different strokes for different folks. For those of us who love a long, hot summer, we have to ask, why can't we have endless summers and zero winters? Sure, the seasons have been doing their thing, year in, year out, for a few years now, so maybe it's unreasonable to expect winter to take an extended holiday. But what if, as the temperature drops, your boss says, "Here's a plane ticket and a lap top. You'll be working remotely from far north Queensland/Hawaii/the Caribbean until things get a lot warmer back here." Seems fair, right? A happy worker is a productive worker, and it's true that people are affected by a lack of sunlight during winter. So bring on those endless summers and zero winters for the health of the nation. And if you're already living in the north of Australia where it feels like summer all year round? Then we'd say you're living life, as it should be!
