The data size optimization landed in #5751 reduces data size in English and other Latin-script languages, but it has minimal impact on other languages.

To reduce this bias, should we consider having a und-Script locale for time zone names. It can contain the names in the language according to likely subtags. This may help languages that share a script, such as sr/uk/ru or zh/zh-Hant/yue. Spot-checking, there are definitely display name overlaps in those languages.

There might be political issues around region display names that need the region to be resolved (and time zone names are often region names).
