As others have said, I don’t think the time was meant to be something you relied on for the object time, but more the help with indexing and sharding.
Yeah this was odd: "Superficially, it seems that embedding a timestamp in the ID can remove the need to track the creation time in a separate database column" Who actually tried to do this?
I didn't assume uuid7 was guaranteed monotonic either. Of course not if you have different clocks. That's not the point of it.
