Even if they could do it thru built in tables and without a network connection, I am sure companies don’t want to be in the business of having to release firmware updates for DST adjustments, which do happen pretty often around the world. Especially firmware updates many years after the camera has been released.

One problem with having a built in table that may go stale is that your camera will change the time when you are not expecting it.

^^^^This.  Too many variables; cities & localities seem to be changing their rules about DST frequently.  Too much for camera companies to keep the firmware up to date.  Far easier to let the user simply set local time and DST on or off.
