Pretty much everything most user-facing apps do generates time values. Maybe it's more accurate to say any time a user actually inputs a date and time. Stuff like scheduling and booking software definitely needs to consider these things.

Basically if you want to preserve the original input then obviously you won't change it. If you just want to record an instant in time you use UTC.
