It's fairly unusual to have a system where people can write timestamps in arbitrary timezones. Most of the time there's a suitable context where a timezone just makes sense
For example, in a booking system the timezone will be associated with the venue or the destination.
In a scheduler for a trading system certain timestamps (start, stop time etc) will be the timezone of the trading venue.
For past events (logging) UTC essentially always makes sense.
