Most obviously, that not everyone's server lives in the same timezone that they do. For instance, my site lives on a server in California, while I'm in the UK. I set my site to display in my local time, and if it automagically set itself forward an hour when clocks changed in the US, I'd be irritated. Less technical people than me would be baffled, and the support forum would be deluged with questions about why WordPress doesn't know what time it is.

What does wordpress have to do anything with time at all? Why doesn't it just read the underlying system clock, which already handles the daylight savings time changes?
