UTC is a fine default time zone, but that doesn't matter here.

A datetime with a timezone and a datetime without one are two different things, both of them useful. My birthday does not have a time zone. My deadline does.

The company deadline for getting some document returned? It might or might not, that's policy.

Poetically: we are born free of time zones. We die bound to one.
