Yes, the punchclock machine stamps 0800 and 1700 on your card (you remembered to clock out for your lunch hour, right?) but people are not punchclock machines.

The US IS the only place that uses MM/DD lol. Not even the three other tinpot dictatorships that still uses inches do that poo poo.

Listen heres the logic

Smallest potential number/ larger potential number/ largest potential number

So

month (up to 12)/ day (up to 31) l/ year (over 2000 now)

Its that really so crazy?

As an 8 hour day, 4 hour month adherent DD/MM/YYYY is actually the smallest to biggest method anyway.

I'll clarify.

If you're saying the full day of the month: nobody cares. It's unambiguous. This includes 1st January, January 1st, January 1st 2023, 1st January 2023, it's verbal preference.

If you're going numerical and listing the day, month, and year:
DD-MM-YY(YY): Fine.
YY(YY)-MM-DD: Also fine.
MM-DD-YY(YY): Some form of national PTSD.

If you're going numerical and just listing the day and month:
You shouldn't be doing this, but if you do and your native language is English you should go dd/mm because "the fifth of the sixth" is an English sentence but I dare you to find a way to make that work unambiguously the other way around that isn't incredibly clunky.

There’s nothing technical about it, this isn’t a nitpick or gotcha. And of course when the year is known from context people in YMD countries write MM/DD just like people in MDY countries do.
