Yet another reason no system not dealing with high-precision time-synchronized physical measurements should ever touch leap seconds.https://twitter.com/dgryski/status/815811732501393408 …
This uniformity only exists in the reference frame of the authority; it's not valid in the reference frames where you use it.

I suspect we seriously misunderstand each other. How is the SI definition of a second invalid anywhere?

The SI definition of a second is (presumably) locally-valid anywhere, but TAI is not your inertial frame's local SI second.
-
TAI is a synchronization (via measurement & published offsets) of SI seconds in a multitude of reference frames.
