You're right, I probably don't properly understand the problem they are trying to solve
But with so many possible observers it wont be possible to satisfy everyone about simultaneity of widely separated events. However scientists have known about relativity for a century and they can factor it in to surmise what another observer experiences. If they are going to do that then why not base everything off of the calculated experience of an observer that uses UTC at some point on Earth (maybe Kazakhstan)
Relativity is real, birds no so much
