@deryckchan, simply because the software must understand itself. The formatted date is what appears in the edit field. We do not want to show the unformated YYYY-MM-DD there as this would be even more confusing, so we show it formatted. You want to edit this, and expect the software to accept the format it was outputting before.
With no parser that is able to understand all formats (and not confuse them!) we can't output all formats.
@Rical, you are right, this is closely connected. But for now this ticket is about PHP backend rendering only, not about possible future Lua modules.
