Time zone is also much less useful for fingerprinting because it's tightly correlated with other signals like IP location and language preference. If you already know that a user's IP is somewhere in California, the additional information that they're using the Pacific time zone adds little value.
(If a user's time zone doesn't agree with their geolocation, that's certainly a signal -- but it's going to be an uncommon one.)
