There's a good post about why this isn't as foolproof an approach as it might first seem here https://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2019/03/27/storing-utc-is-not-a...

The post doesn’t account for the case where a suburb of Amsterdam breaks off from the rest of Netherlands and changes timezones… Then how do you know if the event was in the neighborhood or not?

My point is that this is an extremely niche case and works around one particular type of timezone insanity. You either have a team dedicated to dealing with timezone insanity, or you store stuff in UTC.

No, but that is an even less likely situation, compared to the problems that the approach advocated for by Jon Skeet actually solves.
