A multibillion dollar company can't sync a clock in a video game?

Dota 2 made by Valve, has a clock timer in-game. Every 2 minutes a rune spawns, in the beginning it's synced, 2 minutes, rune spawns instantly, 4 minutes same, but the longer the game goes, let's say at 60 minutes, the rune spawns 1-2 seconds late.

The longer a game goes, the more out of sync the clock and rune spawns are. People say this is really hard to fix, it's been a thing for years.

You're telling me a multi billion dollar company cant properly sync this? I understand it's a multiplayer competitive game so having in mind 10 players ping and whatnot could make this complicated but still
