Careful, In a SYSPLEX with multiple local time zones, use of local time zone in a message can be confusing.

Just as a guess on my part, it might be because there are a number of
multinational companies with a mega datacenter used in multiple time zones.
I guess the date could be rendered in the local time of the datacenter. But
that could confuse people in other time zones. Or even in the same time
zone because some places, like Illonis do not use daylight time.
