Because it's clearly the best for numerous reasons.
when the 4 digit year is first, it's obvious month is second. So 2024-01-02, for example, is definitely jan second and not Feb first (unless you're insane)
you can name things with the date first and an alphabetical sort will automatically sort the files by date (you can't always sort by date and sometimes you actually want a mixed sort like this

America being backwards and dumb in many ways doesn't make them unimportant.

The only thing date snobs hate more than other date snobs is date snobs who are right…

The 23rd day of the 31st month of 2012?
WTF?
For the sane world the last day of 2023 was 23-12-31, or formated properly: 2023/12/31

For less than 5% of people. The vast majority use a proper format.

I really like year/month/day format as its sorts my files accordingly. Too bad not many countries, including my own, use this format.
