Wouldn’t this prevent things like a country above another country (aka being in the same latitude) and having a different time zone (which never made sense to me); and other things that just don’t make sense in the current system?

“Everyone being at the same current time and simply doing things at different hours of the day” causes more problems than it’s worth.
With time zones, someone who wants to do business with a different time zone simply looks up the conversion (from either their own time zone or UTC or some other known time) and based on what time they get, they can determine when the people in that zone are most likely to be open/available for such business.
Without time zones – i.e. if everyone just used UTC, you would still need to figure out when someone in a different region is available to do business, so it’s not any *more* convenient. In fact it would be less convenient because you would depend on that person and/or business having a publicized schedule and sticking to it.
