While it would make sense and make Star Platinum's Time Stop less bullshitty it just doesn't seem to be right.

1. The World's design matches DIO (yellow color, hearts all over it) if it was Jonathan's Stand it would look more like him instead of looking exacly like DIO, The World also reflects DIO's emotions.

It's scuba diving gear may also reflect DIO being trapped at the bottom of the ocean for so long not to mention DIO's theme that's filled with sonar sounds and overall has an underwater feel.

2. The World just doesn't suit Jonathan, it's a Stand reflecting DIO's willpower and ambition (desire to rule the world) as well as his arrogance and narcissism.

3. Diego Brando who is simply an alternate version of DIO also has The World this pretty much proves that it's not Jonathan's Stand.
