I see another possibility, on topic with TFA. We start colonising other worlds, and will need to coordinate timekeeping between them. Time dilation will also kick in (GPS already has to compensate).
If humans were to colonise Mars, I suspect they might adopt a hybrid calendar, combining the Martian day with the Earth year
I think for humans on Mars, the local day-night cycle would likely be much more important than local seasonal cycles. Plus for a long time they’d be dependent on Earth (financially, politically, etc), and Earth years are a natural unit of Earth-centric planning, plus they’d see themselves as part of Earth-centric human history. And maybe eventually they’ll wean themselves off their dependence on Earth, but that would likely take centuries, by which time such a hybrid calendar may have become deeply embedded in Martian culture, and the use of the Earth year might endure long after the original motivations for it ceased to apply
So I could see our current Earth-centric year numbering system being maintained as humans spread out through our solar system. And if eventually we spread to other star systems, we might take that with us too
