Most DAW programs move the Audio in MIDI TICKS.

You can websearch and easily find the conversion to milliseconds stuff.

Don't neglect to include your MIDI resolution in the calculation.

Mac, my experience has been the opposite with the non-PG DAW software that I've used. I won't say it's most because my exposure has been somewhat limited to a few other programs (Tracktion, Reaper, Audacity). However, with those programs, I find a mix of either time format hh:mm:ss:ms, or video frame divisions. PG is the only provider that I've used which has a midi-centric approach to audio time slicing/moving/etc.

That said, one thing that I've appreciated with Tracktion is that with MIDI you can actually create a groove-based quantization template; and it comes pre-loaded with loads of very useful templates, so that you can push/pull individual notes in a measure or all of them or pretty much whatever you like by various amounts. It can make a wooden drum-beat pattern come to life in the right context.

Since you can also beat-detect in audio and re-slice the audio, you can even begin to do this with recorded loops. I haven't dove into that deep end of things yet.
