I see that it is happening on release/9.0-staging as well and I'm not aware of any globalization changes backported to .NET 9 from our side. @kotlarmilos are you aware of any Android OS updates going on?

[kotlarmilos]

No, I am not aware of any Android OS updates.

[akoeplinger]

it's possible that something updated ICU/TZ data on the devices, e.g. through Google Play

[tarekgh]

Usually we get the TZ display names from ICU, so @akoeplinger highly likely be correct.
