> Why would I want a clock that is, on average, a half minute off?
Because in 99.9% of the cases I don't care about the seconds, it takes away space in the top status bar, and the constant changing of seconds in the top-left corner of the screen is distracting. And for the remaining 0.1% of cases, there is the clock app that shows seconds.
What benefit do you gain in daily life by having the time down to the second? The argument "so it's not half a minute off on average" seems a bit self-referential.
