"Time" has always been linked to sun or moon or the stars. In English you say o'clock because it is the time of a mechanical clock, it was normal and way more precise to use the sun for a long time in history so 12 was the time the sun was the highest(Zenith). Astronomers used the moon and stars for calculating time with extreme precision, and they continue doing that. This always gives you local time at the point of the observer. The man that writes the article probably lives without contact to the environment,in a city,goes to work to a building without the light of the sun but for those of us that do not, knowing when the sun is going to be the highest, the rising and setting of the sun is a great idea. With GPS enabled clocks, like Apple watch and future smartwatches, every person could carry in his clock the real local time, the political local time zone time,and UTC. No need for globalist trying to force us into doing that. In America and specially New York it looks like the only important thing in life are first money, then the economy. Instead of money and economy being in service of the world, in those places the world has to serve the economy and money.
