I find it quite useful to be able to assume that, wherever I am, businesses will likely be open between 09:00 and 17:00. Under a UTC-dominant system, I wouldn't have a standard way to map between local frames of reference. If I'm in Atlanta and typically work from 14:00 to 22:00 UTC, and I'm trying to schedule a meeting with a colleague in Singapore... well, I know exactly when the meeting would be, but I have no idea if 14:00 UTC is early or late there.
