I have also noticed these discrepancies on some of the shorter haul flights that I like to fly, but what a massive task it would be to correct this for every flight that may have a time problem.
In my opinion the important thing is to set your sim at the displayed ETD.
Forgetting time zones, climb and descent profiles, vectors and the wife calling to take out the garbage, it is easy to work out how long the flight will take or how long you will be in front of the computer for.
Distance from A to B, 2000 nm, cruise speed around .78 Mach equals around 4.5 hrs before you can take out the garbage.
