I’ll give you a counterpoint with an example:
I have a daily journal note created at 9:32am.
I travel to a different country and go back to look at some of my old daily entries.
I don’t want to see that I created my entry at 5:32pm (or worse, on a different day), I want to see that I created it at 9:32am.
So while I can understand there might be a use case for your scenario, there is also a strong use case for the current method. Having an optional setting would be reasonable.
