13:00:00.00Z means the same moment wherever you are on (or off) the planet. Does that help it make sense?

  No, because people use local time to decide when to go to bed, and when to get up. Aligning that to the sun is the most important bit. Asking your smartphone what time it is somewhere else is trivially easy no matter what method you use.

    People used to not have any time and watched the sun. I'm sure they can adapt to their local working hours, even if it's 13:00-22:00.
