Agreed. There is no need to set the system time.
We only need to use correct time in the program.

I don’t understand, are you under the impression that the program sets the system clock?  It doesn’t.

We already have ways to synchronize (approximately) the clients, so why not make use of that?

We use an internal offset based on the median of other nodes’ times, but for security reasons we don’t let them offset us by more than an hour.  If they indicate we’re off by more than an hour, then we resort to alerting the user to fix their clock.
