  There was no point other than incorrectly parsing a unix timestamp to something other than UTC. If you need to pass the time zone then pass it separately or use an ISO format instead. None of this is that complicated.

    The point is that a date is not the same thing as an instant. A unix timestamp captures an instant, but that may not be suitable or desirable to a specific use case e.g. instants are usually broken when it comes to scheduling future events as the mapping might change inbetween the recording and occurrence, and you want this change to be reflected on your execution.
