Epochs aren't that simple either.

First of all, local time can be relevant, so you have to store timezone information somewhere anyway.

Epochs are also somewhat iffy in regards to leap years or seconds.

And finally: write me an SQL to retrieve all entries submitted in 2022 using just epochs.

Timezones are annoying as fuck, don't get me wrong, but simply ignoring them isn't a solution either.
