So what is it about a system where everyone and every business adjusts their schedule slightly (I guess independently) of each other that is better than the leap second system we have now. Which, as I said earlier, is essentially the same thing, but done in a standardized way.

Timekeeping at the abstraction level where business hours exist is a lot more tolerant of 40 seconds of error than at the abstraction level where timekeeping primitives are implemented.
