Yes, that is the case for being in your own timezone, but what if you are dealing with someone in another country, you will need some way to know quickly what their local dayurnal situation is. Or if you are travelling, the jet lag will be compounded by confusion.
actually its easier because you just apply the UTC offset, and that is assuming its a cold call. If your setting up a call via email or chat or something like that you just say what time do you want to talk tomorrow. I work from UTC 13:00-21:00, and I see that you work UTC 07:00-15:00. How about we have our call at UTC 14:00?
doing this type of international communication gets simpler because now you dont need to convert into a local reference on both sides. Since you both work in UTC you have a standard reference and all the conversion is unnecessary.
But you’re both doing a conversion in this case also? You’re both mentally converting the UTC time into your local idea of what part of the day that is.
With time zones you don’t do that mental conversion because that part is the same, you do a different conversion for the offset.

There’s a conversion with either system.
