My 5 cents from the antipodes (NZ, so it really should be 10 cents): yes.

For so much of what we do, we have to do it on Europe and North America’s time. Being able to say “if we want to join that 9am conference call in New York, we have to be up at 1am”.

Taking out time zones and saying “oh good, the meeting is at 9am” doesn’t help me to know what time in the middle of the night I have to be up — other than that it’s 9am, which isn’t helpful.

The whole am/pm thing would also probably need to be ditched for military time. (Now that is a thing I would agree on doing anyways)
That’s just a different way to format the same thing. It doesn’t stop the sun being up in one place and down in another.
