Because it was originally all Greenwich mean Time and British Summer Time was an innovation to increase the daylight working hours in war time.
It was felt necessary to do away with GMT as this is understood worldwide.

The Greenwich Meridian is 'zero' Longitude, the invisible point of reference for the international dateline from which all other timezones are taken. GMT is standard time, so it doesn't actually need a reference to any season.

Greenwich mean time is the name given to the time on the prime meridian, when the sun is at its highest at 12 noon
