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?

There’s _no_ way you would get almost every country in the whole world to agree to radically change their time tracking.
You would have to agree on one time zone which would remain the “master” time. Good luck with that.
The Brits would say: “the official ‘zero’ timezone is UTC anyway, which sometimes corresponds to British time, so we should keep our time and let everyone else adjust theirs.”
Some United-States-of-Americans in Washington (I believe that’s East Coast?) would say: “no way, the United States of America is super important, we’ll keep our time and everyone else must adjust!”
Then the _other_ United-States-of-Americans on the West Coast would get really angry and say “you East Coastians are not going to tell _us_ what to do! We should keep the West Coastern time as the master!”
(I think there’s _also_ another different central time zone in the US?)
Meanwhile Russia says (imagine this in a terrible Russian accent): “Englandskies and Americanskies vill not dictate time zone change for Great Motherland! Russia vill be master of great time zone!”
And the Chinese just chuckle and shake their heads: imagine those silly Westerners try to force their silly time zone ideas on the glorious Chinese Communist Party!
