If there is no appreciable difference, why is a change being sought?
By seeking to replace mean solar time as the foundation of U.S. civil
time, there is a tacit admission that UTC may subsequently not remain
tied to mean solar time. Else, as you say, "what's the diff?" An
admission, that is to say, that a UTC that relies on bundling 3600
leap seconds into each leap hour can no longer be regarded as an
expression of mean solar time.
