It’s completely reasonable to attach a timezone to a time object. 

If I schedule an event in a calendar for Mar 7th, at 12pm Eastern, then
absolutely that should be represented as a date time. But what if I want
to schedule an event that occurs every day at 11:30AM EST? There’s
no date associated with it (except an infinite set, or the span of my life
I suppose!) it’s just 11:30AM EST.
