In most time zones, UTC offset in seconds can be computed by C code as a 4-byte integer faster than CPython can look up the .utcoffset method. (At least for times within a few years around now.) A programmer who makes it slower should be fired. Yet I agree, "'premature optimization' applies at this time."
