That would only marginally help, I think. Shifting the numbers used for hours of the day around won't make people go to bed at 2200 UTC in Australia or Los Angeles. Now instead of asking "If it's 1300 PST here, what time is it on Mars?", you're asking, "If it's mid-morning here at 1300 UTC, are people eating dinner or fast asleep on Mars?"

Moving to a single time everywhere just exchanges one set of annoyances for another. It doesn't fix anything. I do get the aversion to "odd" zones like :30 or :45 offsets, though.
