How is it not a technical problem? It sure as hell has been a problem for me more than once when implementing things, especially once timezone definitions between two systems drift apart.
Why does it matter whether it’s a technical problem? Neither you nor I have been talking about technical problems thus far.
Solving technical problem is what an engineer does. Asking people to do things differently so that the engineer doesn’t have to solve the problem is what exactly?
I’d be with you if they were static - but the current situation of timezones that change regularly is a nightmare.
Are you talking about winter time vs summer time? Then it’s a whole other matter, completely irrelevant to timezones.
No, I’m talking about timezones themselves changing. Countries regularly change details about timezones.
That’s still not a technical problem.

In that case, why don’t we switch up timezones every day? Make it even harder for engineers. More problems = more technical solutions, right?
I don’t see how your point makes any sense.
