Only the UI needs the TZ information, the machine can operate just fine

No that simply does not work. Repeating events or alarms may not involve
any UI at all, but the device may need to trigger those at a specific local
time - that means time zone information has to be taken into account
somewhere. This is a crucial fact of any calendaring and scheduling system
that those of us who have been using iCalendar (RFC5545) fully appreciate.
