Hi,

local time in RTC has got disadvantages, but not for my desktop PC
usage. For me it has got the advantage that I always get local time,
even if no OS is involved at all, e.g. when storing files such as
firmware settings.

Using it for way more than a decade, it never caused an issue, so
there's no disadvantage for my kind of desktop PC usage.

No, for me it's the right solution. Maybe it's unusual, but not wrong.
