Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's also usually extremely US-centric. Nobody outside of North America has any idea what "PDT" or "Mountain Time" means.
I mostly struggle with Irish Standard Time (used for DST in Ireland) and Indian Standard Time which have the same acronym. :( Thankfully, I learnt a long time ago to use ISO 8601 and UTC for dates and times. I still revert to PST/PDT if my audience is primarily left coast based.

It's also the home of single region services...
IAM, Cloudfront ACM certs, etc
