Why people convert Toronto to MYT time

Scheduling a call from Toronto to MYT: a 10:00 AM start in Toronto lands at 10:00 PM in MYT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +12h gap: Toronto and MYT have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in MYT is 9:00 PM in Toronto.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +12h gap is not.
With a +12h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Toronto takes the early slot, the next week MYT does.
