I deal with this, we monitor various sensor data, and for the most UTC is never what's wanted, except for exporting and importing, but even then, I've seen people want/give things in standard time, or even DLS time. Certain things naturally need to be in local time like with water measuring over night usage looking for leaks. So things are recorded with datetimeoffsets so you can know when something occured locally to the sensor, as well as being able to translate to UTC, or the local time as it is now, or the local time of the viewer of the data
