This is a language issue. DMY makes perfect sense in languages where you'd normally say the date in that sequence. The "problem" is that English doesn't do that. The natural flow in English is MDY, e.g. July 4th, 2024. That not how Germanic language (at least those I know) works. In Danish or German you'd say "4th July, 2024", that's just how those languages work.
I do agree that for computing ISO 8601 is the way to go as it sorts correctly.
