Well bully for them. They aren't 'Murica, and you can't make us do anything we don't want to!

/s but not really. It's far too accurate for far too many of my countrymen

Sure, other countries do and that's fine too. I'm not saying it's good or bad or placing any value on it because it's not that big of a deal to me. And I used to regularly deal with this because I'd write dates for official international paperwork pretty often.

I'm simply saying the reason we order our dates the way we do, and are resistant en masse to changing it, has to do with the way we say the date and so it makes the most sense to the general public to write as we speak. I literally don't care how the date is written because I can and have done both. I'm not prescribing action here either.
