It might be pure opinion but I don't think M/D is "stupid" when put in context for example: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS 2019-05-18T23:43:15 is an ISO format and it makes sense because you start with biggest unit and end with the smallest. You write numbers starting with biggest unit, so why not dates? I take issue with you calling the format "stupid" simply because you are not used it or you were raised with a different format. Some people write left to right others right to left, (and if you really going for it, top to bottom and bottom to top), which one of those is "stupid"?
