There is never any confusion with anyone globally about scheduling anything. But, err, "am" and "pm" refer to where the sun is in the sky. That's their literal meaning. It's useful information. Timezones are (obviously) a physical thing. Abolishing them to aide the comparatively tiny number of people worldwide who need to schedule a phone call with someone in another country is pretty bonkers IMO. Furthermore, I don't want to be booking a flight home from Australia to the UK, pick a 9am departure from SYD only to discover it's in the evening.
