    When I’m reading through dates, January gives me a hell of a lot more information than “the fifteenth”

      Then use ISO and start with the year, which gives you even more information.

        Not necessarily. I work outdoors, the month gives extremely important seasonal context. “A July” tells more than “1985”… although realistically I need both for any conceivable purpose.

          Also, to be honest, reading dates is not a difficult process. It takes less than a second regardless of whether it starts with a month, a day, or a year. It’s not worth to use that as the basis of discussion. Imo, having the numbers be logically sorted from biggest to smallest unit (or reverse) is worth it just to avoid the confusion.
