That doesn't sound simple for the user at all. If I'm meeting locally with friends to see the game/oscars/wtv, I don't know or care about the time in the original timezone. My local TV guide / newspaper shows it in local time, and that's what everyone in the meeting cares about, so why would I set it to a completely different TZ?

Admittedly setting a time zone different than your local zone is an edge case. 99% of the time your local zone is the correct default. It would come up if you're scheduling a meeting for your trip to a different zone, or setting your TV to record the football game being broadcast from Chile.
