WTF. is telling me my clock is ahead and needs to be corrected (wrong), rather than that the site's certificate is invalid.

This is a standard Chromium feature but maybe they changed it to using an HTTPS server not providing a reliable time. IIRC, it's permitted to return a randomized value in the time value, so you really need to use a server that's explicitly going to keep supporting giving time.
Why would they trust the server's reported time over yours? This seems like a very broken attitude towards authority/trust.

You're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not talking about the server you're connecting to but rather a server (or multiple) for sanity checking the local system time. Essentially, a time server, but with the time fetched via TLS.
