We don't really use UTC in the US, so for most Americans it wouldn't actually tell them much of anything. EST & PST are the most common.

Nobody elsewhere does either but everyone knows their offset, or at least should around here... this is clearly an event of worldwide importance, so adding a few more timestamps wouldn't hurt

Which is maddening because most of the year it’s EDT & PDT but people still reference them wrong, even in marketing and corporate communications where they really should know better.
