No matter what the users language is, everybody can distinguish day, month and year in "10 November 2017". But we can not assume everybody understands what the month in "2017-11-10" is. This is actually the 11th of October in certain regions of the world.
The reason is that, I'm afraid, it is not correct to assume that "everybody can distinguish day, month and year in [dd Mmm yyyy]". As Samat and I have strongly argued in this thread, translated month names + wrong date formatting string is not comprehensible in many languages. It is better to default to a correct foreign language than to use an incomprehensibly wrong attempt to localise.
