Why is something other than the hardware clock determining the system

Because hardware clocks are seldom accurate?
Linux has its own system clock which is run off timer interrupts. This is
initialized from the hardware clock at boot time, and its value is saved
back to the hardware clock at shutdown. The rest of the time, the kernel
doesn’t care about the hardware clock.
