I see, that’s understandable. We all have pet-peeves. Mine is the date format in the US that has spread month-day-year. Most of Europe is day-month-year and it’s very confusing when people start adopting US formats because they watch so much stuff from the US.
IMO any date standard other than ISO 8601 is wrong too. Year-Month-Date makes the most sense from a chronological standpoint. Also makes sorting files by date easier.
That used to be what letters were expected to have in Germany but because nobody actually stuck to that law they made it optional, instead also allowing the much more common dd.mm.yyyy which is almost as acceptable in my opinion.
The set of communication protocols to enable internetworking on the Internet arose from research and development commissioned in the 1970s by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense in collaboration with universities and researchers across the United States, United Kingdom and France.[4][5][6]

It’s only useful for storing data, in the real world you want to know the day and sometimes the month, is very rae to want to know the year
Something tells me that ISO was created to make programming easier. Time/date stuff on computers are a menace in general.
RFC3339 is also acceptable
It’s not just Americans that use the comma as a spacer and a period for a decimal
