The monotonic clock cannot synchronize from different computers.

Each has limitations the other has not, this is why we need both as
options. Because YOU do not know if the user's computers are correctly
synchronized, YOU do not know if the user needs to synchronise between
different computers. But the users knows. Hence the option. For the
user, because the user knows.
