Did they ever do so?  The coordinates for the tzdb region in which I live point to a random location on 1st street in Los Angeles, which is over 400 km from where I live, and is far from where the vast majority of people in the America/Los_Angeles region live.  (It's not all that near where many people in the *Los Angeles metropolitan area* live.)
