I'm confident this behavior is the software working as expected.
Emphasis on "world" here: it's the kind of thing you use to work with
more than one location.
Imagine you work remotely in California for a company with offices in
New York that also happens to have a corporate office in the UK. The New
York office sends out a memo about a meeting with corporate, but in
their local time zone. With the World Clock, it would be very easy to
quickly figure out the time in any one of those locations.
World Clock can be used to add time zones and swap relatively quickly
between them (merely by selecting and setting as default or use the
mouse wheel) or you can use multiple widgets to display multiple time
zones (which would be impossible if the widget always respected the
system time zone).
To further this logic, you can compare to the Digital Clock in the KDE
Panel. It also offers a way to put together a list of time zones and
scroll through them. Doing so does not change the actual system time or
date.
One thing the KDE clock has is an option to change the time (and thus
the time zone) in the context menu. However, this is not handled by the
widget itself. Instead, it opens the system settings. Similarly, in
LXQt, there is also a separate piece of software to set the time: lxqt-
admin-time or simply "Date and Time" in the configuration menu/center.
