There's a much simpler one - recurring meetings/events (in-person or local-ish like within one country) that cross a DST boundary. You always want these to be attached to a local time zone, so it doesn't suddenly happen an hour earlier/later than you intended.



Where that gets even more fun is with international meetings, where the host of the meeting and the attendees are in different zones.
