Why people convert Stockholm to Nairobi time

Scheduling a call from Stockholm to Nairobi: a 10:00 AM start in Stockholm lands at 11:00 AM in Nairobi, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Stockholm and Nairobi are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM CEST time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM EAT). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
