I think Tim is correct. There used to be a checkbox about the hardware clock. (Maybe it is still there?) But I don't think the user is to blame. Users should not have to do extra the work. It is 2023, not 1986. Computers work for users, not the other way around. Systemd should have determined how the realtime clock is configured, and then acted accordingly. It's not our job to tell systemd information it can readily gather itself.
