Without a battery backed RTC its really not that useful. Picture 6 or 10

If a system needs to use something TLS-protected, then the system clock
must not be too much off because a certificate might not be valid
otherwise. At least in debian there is also a fake hwclock package that
reduces the offset to the time that passed since the system was last
booted:

This could occur in a home where the device is accessing the home server
and the home is off the net since before the device restarted. A slew
of a few hours, perhaps even a day should not be a stopper, unlike day 0.
