> If you’re already trusting it for your IP address, you might as well trust it with the current UTC time

I don't follow! How does trusting DHCP with IP address automatically mean I should trust it with the current UTC time?

Time requires higher degree of trust than IP.

I may not care what my IP address looks like but I might care a lot about what the current UTC time is and I might want this to come from a more trustworthy device.
