I mean sure, I could solve the issue with a better strategy, but what bugs me is that this is a problem in the first place. Should accurate time really still be an issue in 2024?

In theory it shouldn't be. In practice, for the vast majority of people, it isn't. If one needs precise time, there are ways to do it. Most things don't need it that precisely. If the sync function requires precise time, then it should schedule syncs, or even use network time rather than system time (it needs a network to sync anyways).

Basically, if it's not an issue people have no incentive to fix it. For the vast majority of people, this is not an issue.
