Let's face it, this lump of orbital debris we call our home planet is

This is our "universe".
The "universe" is a little larger than that for the astronomers. "Earth
time" would have made more sense.
You are missing my point, the word "universe" have different meanings,
and when originally used for UTC it was used to mean a coordinated time
for that "lump of orbital debris" and not for the "Universe". Thus,
using a particular interpretation of the word as an argument is not very
fruitful. It is just not very suitable choice of words, at least in english.
