My question is very simple... Consider the following Angular App simply create a new date and print the number of UTC milliseconds of that date in the console. My question is why is it zero?

Because getUTCSeconds is the seconds portion of the time. In your case its 0.
Docs : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/getUTCSeconds
Examples:
new Date('July 20, 1969, 20:18:04 UTC'); // 4
new Date('July 20, 1969, 20:18:00 UTC'); // 0
It is not the total number of seconds since epoch (which is what you might be thinking)
