I think that's because you're used to hearing dates said that way? Over here in DDMMYY-land, we often would say "20th of May, 2024" and that sounds equally sensical to me tbh

And in a lot of countries they just say 20 May, 2024. So no ordinal numbers for the day.

Americans always put the month first.
E.g. July 4th.

I know you've been bashed already by others, but could you elaborate on why this is sensical?

In a, "Alright I guess that technically works and at least can follow the logic". It's pretty damn niche, however (who is going to ask for two or more years in advanced for a date and not go, "Just text/email it"? Heck, even this is pushing it, but I can at least follow the logic)

Could be that I'm slightly fucking up definitions in my head, it was a long day yesterday

In that it at least has a use that one can go, "Alright I guess that technically works"
