Yes I completely agree. I fail to see how anyone would think that using a clock as a source of truth in a distributed system would be in anyway a good idea. As far as PTP it would be too expensive to deploy at large scale which was some of the motivation (i believe) behind truetime.

To be fair, time was considered to provide a pretty universal total ordering up until fairly recently, i.e., 1903.
