Matter of taste. And matter of a checkbox in some preferences.

I do not think so. For example, I often import the two cameras we use
(mine and my friend's) at the same time. But she sets her clock to
French (winter) clock, and I set mine to UTC. So I'd rather have a
different album for the two.

Of course if you add to your conditions "and EXIF data show that the
cards were used in the same camera", I would agree. But this is quite
difficult to establish (same card on two cameras?)
