Why shouldn't we have one timezone? Why not have one worldwide timezone?

The sun rises and sets at different times according to both latitude and longitude. Timezones only handle longitudinal daylight adjustments. We already deal with plenty of incongruity around daylight.

Why not embrace the variability and let go of the idea that we can predict daylight based on the hour alone? Let people localize the time to discover where the sun is.
