Why Are Heroku Logs Timestamped UTC After Setting TZ Environment Variable To Another Time Zone?

After following the procedure noted in this answer to change server time zone for a dyno the timestamp was still showing UTC using the command heroku log --tail or viewing logs on the application dashboard.

For example a Heroku contributor was trying to set IST via TZ="Asia/Kolkata, and I have done the same using TZ=America/New_York. However the timestamp in the log remains UTC regardless of the time zone chosen in the TZ environment variable.

As documented here, the TZ environment variable will not affect logs. Heroku logs are always timestamped in UTC.
