I'm pretty sure it's because of the way we say it. Like, "May 6th, 2023". So we write it 5/6/2023.
That said, I think it's fucking stupid.
I'm not an American and English isn't my first language, so the US way to write dates always confused me. Now, I finally understand it! Many thanks, this is legitimately sooooo useful!
