I'm just trying to understand how the NTP thing works. What is the benefit to having pihole do the NTP? Shouldn't the OS do this?

Apologies if this is a dumb question. I’m new to this so please don’t downvote me (too much at least.)

What is the benefit of pihole doing the NTP? Shouldn’t the OS just get the right time? How does this work?
