You’ve never worked across time zones have you?

Actually I have, and then we all use GMT when communicating timestamps. But it's like another commenter mentions: yes, 'that commit from 2 hours ago' is still doable (though if it matters we communicate SHAs), but when it goes to 'a day ago' it doesn't really work out anymore.

"GMT"

That alone hints you're either working in the UK or you're confusing GMT with UTC, or both.

Or, nobody cares about fractions of a second when organising a meeting, so to all intents and purposes they are the same.

Point being, they are not the same. There is one hour difference between UK Time, GMT and UTC for half of the year, due to daylight saving time.
