That's true if you need to clean up temporary files every night or make a backup.
But what if your cronjob has an effect in the physical world, locally? E.g. open the parking gates every morning.
The world is inherently messy :-)

If you must run it as root, you can specify a CRON_TZ variable on a per-file basis, which will override the default.
Making a backup is usually reserved for the quietest hours of the morning, so that it does not compete as much for resources with the normal operation of the system; in my experience, the quietest hour is usually around 4:00 local time.
