I cannot know what you mean and in which context.
I can tell you to look here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
which is the context for computer time, or TZ database time zones,
where you may find Etc/UTC as time zone.
I can tell that in the context of the PostgreSQL database, "UTC" is
time zone, as following works well:
SELECT current_timestamp AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';
timezone
----------------------------
2023-02-16 14:13:37.837977
(1 row)
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
CURRENT_timestamp
-------------------------------
2023-02-16 17:13:42.709239+03
There are differen time zones' categories:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_time_zones
In military context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_time_zones
It is called "Zulu Time Zone" or "Z"
Then in this context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zone_abbreviations
There is abbreviation "UTC" if you look there.
So, yes I do agree that UTC is "not time zone", but I do not know in
which context you mean. As in many common contexts the UTC is the time
zone.
