I'd be happy if the whole planet had the same timezone. Just adjust your personal life to global time, rather than expecting time to adjust to anyone's work/school timetable.
As a programmer I would love that. But as a person it does make more sense to go "it's 4am in California, that person is probably sleeping" than "it's 11am, what is the sun situation like in California rn?"
Considering that there are quite a few people with unusual sleep and/or work schedules that doesn't help nearly as much as you would think.
I am one of the people with unusual sleep schedules. If you know someone well enough to know their personal timezone then you can use that regardless. It's still useful to know the hours a country usually operates in.
