But then we would need some method to quickly discern the relative position in the day/night cycle of a locality, perhaps some form of number to indicate the percentage of a day before or after midnight their local area is at. Then probably just add that offset so that the viewer doesn't need to do the math everytime.
The only reason why you need to do math is because you're not used to it. Once you're used to it you can just apply your local offset if you absolutely need to but otherwise you would just wake up when it's time to wake up and your UTC and you'd go to bed when it's time to go to bed in your UTC.
