This simply isn't true. If it were true, Newtonian mechanics would also fail to be quantized (as you say, Newton introduced the assumption). However, non-relativistic mechanics (Newton) can be quantized, as can special relativistic mechanics with a few subtleties. These theories have the same suppositions about time.
