I'm a software engineer, and we have a product that depends a lot on recording the time that something happened. In the past, one engineer coded the on-device agent using local time, and later on, a different engineer coded the ETL server code using UTC. It's a huge headache, made even worse by the fact that the infrastructure for that server is in local time for a different time zone.

With a more normalized UTC, I think my life would definitely be a lot easier.
