Not everyone does.

The SA Harav says to keep one day in EY and two in chu"l, no matter
where you're from, because the kedusha of yomtov on the second day
exists in chu"l and not in EY.

The Chacham Tzvi arrives at the same conclusion for a different reason:
We keep two days in chu"l nowadays, even though we know the calendar,
because of a letter from "There" to the Jews of Bavel, telling them
to keep up the practise of their fathers, who used to keep two days.
But when their fathers would go to EY for yomtov, they would keep only
one day, just as when the fathers of the Bnei EY would go to Bavel for
yomtov they would keep two days.
