Sure. It probably is. I'm not sure what the point is. It's still something that I see on a regular basis, and it seems clear that I care more about it than others, because in my experience I talk about it more than others. But the frameworks are not using standard IANA time zone names. Those look like "America/New_York". The most recent time zone selection I made was installing OpenBSD on a new laptop yesterday. That had me choose a proper time zone name. As best I can read your post you're implying that I am impugning the character of developers of applications I use. I have already noted very clearly that I think I just notice/care about this more. You've also appealed to a couple sources of authority (framework maintainers and IANA). If I wanted to impugn the characters of those developers, I think I'd have good standing, as your authorities agree with me on proper time zone names. I don't want to do this, though. I don't think it's a big deal, because, as I've already mentioned, human communication offers much affordance for this type of technical incorrectness. I'm not confused. I doubt others are confused. I'm not frustrated. It just tickles the pedantic annoyance lever in my brain.
