I've used my phone in several countries, but not until I landed in the USA
did it offer to update the time to the local time zone. While in the USA,
each time I moved to a new time zone, the phone let me know and offered to
update the time again.

Why doesn't this happen in other places? It seems like a very helpful
feature.

the phone has to support the feature, and the service provider has to
haver it. Outside the USA, it seems to be rare among the service
providers

Most phones (if not all) do support NITZ, most service providers
don't.
