All they want is that the clock face on their smartwatch/clock on their smartphone/clock in the bar at the top or bottom of their screen display the correct current date and time, that their file manager report the correct creation/modification date and time for files, etc..
Not always! For example, we make an embedded IoT product that allows up to six date/time displays to be shown simultaneously, each configurable to use a different time zone. In that particular use case, the 'determine my time zone automatically' method is not only irrelevant, but can be positively harmful.
