I am not promoter of "UTC timestamps", you have mixed me maybe with
some other person. Last time you misquoted me.
That PostgreSQL recommends time stamp with time zone is only in so far
related to Org as for program design decisions.
There is plethore of other programs using time, just look in any
calendar and underground.
I do not promote anything, I give suggestions to developers to make
decisions that will not impact people.
My proposal is not that what you describe, but I will repeat it here
for clarity:
- Timestamps may be left how they are now with small addition
- Time stamp could get time zone (I never said UTC, neither UTC
offset) -- I would myself never suggest to people to place
timestamps in time zone, but to simply use the local system time
zone. Case to use time stamps with time zone would be then when such
time stamp is isolated in the whole Org file and as such, the task
has to be sent to other people, shared, or published. This is finely
grained.
- Heading could have time zone property, then all time stamps in that
heading would easily be calculated for sharing purposes.
- If not heading, then user could set up file #+TIMEZONE property, if
such is or should be different to system time zone
- Without any settings in Org, Org may use system time zone to
calculate future time difference.
And I said that is in Emacs Lisp similar to logical OR:
timestamp-time-zone OR heading-time-zone OR file-time-zone OR system-time-ZONE
So please do not misinterpret and reiterate what I never proposed or suggested.

Absolutely not, I cannot find myself in your description.

You are free to describe it as you wish. And?

I do not argue with people nothing as because of their name or
position, as people are not object of discussion.
Neither my last writing was related to "location based time zone" but
to UTC offset.
All my writing is directed to Org developers to get access to
references before making any decisions how to calculate times.
