Yet high noon at my current location comes at 12:03 (1:03 with DST). It's three minutes off. If I lived further west in my timezone, noon would come much later.

How can people manage with noon off by minutes, yet want leap-second accuracy every 6 months?

More like every 2 years.

But yes, point taken.

The counterpoint is that it costs little.
