If you know it is off topic (just like the constant rants about
notices and other "issues" you run into with legacy codes), why do you
post it in the 1st place?

That being said, I think we all know your views on these topics.

We bundle the TZ data and it is used on all supported platforms. So
no, no platform lags behind other. Some distributions may patch the
date extension to use the system TZ but then it is none of our
business.
