If Unix Time enumerated leap seconds, you couldn't convert future timestamps into localized times.

Could you elaborate on what you mean? I think it's already impossible to accurately turn a future timestamp into a local time, leap seconds or not, because of timezone shenanigans. So I'm probably misunderstanding what you're talking about.
