> With a “designator” time that doesn’t mean much

This might not 'mean much' to the computer, but it means a lot to the human. The computer uses it to communicate with the human and the humans between each other. When I arrange a meeting across timezones I will say CET 16.00 or ET3.00PM and they will understand it faster than saying how much offset we are from UCT.
