The time zone the user wants to use, and therefore sets in the OS, is not always tied to the current location. For example, on a flight from San Francisco to Frankfurt I care about Pacific Time and Central European Time, but not the other time zones I fly over. There are also locations for which there is no well-defined mapping to a time zone, e.g., disputed border areas or regions where different population groups use different time zones.
