Programmers can already do this if they want to. TAI already exists. But they'd have to still display UTC as civil time to end users and I'm pretty sure they do

Programmers can already do this if they want to. TAI already exists. But they'd have to still display UTC as civil time to end users and I'm pretty sure they don't want to do that either because it would mean just as much code.

the hard thing about TAI is that it’s not properly supported in DBMS, RFC 3339/ISO 8601, etc… This makes it hard to use. It’s actually easier to use MJD represented as a double.

Yes. A different number, but you still have exactly all of the same problems as before.
