The importance of trades is usually a before/after. And UTC TAI, GPS all

From a technical point I absolutely agree with you.
However, there have been discussions (IIRC on the TZ or leapsecs mailing
lists) where folks tried to explain that even though the difference
between TAI and UTC is just an integral number of seconds, TAI could not
even be used as a replacement for UTC without leap seconds, just due to
specific wordings in certain documents.
