Oh you europeans and your dates! 
To go on that tangent...As a European that now lives in the US, I'm still having trouble with mm/dd/yyyy vs. dd/mm/yyyy Never quite understood the rationale of mm/dd instead of dd/mm...I mean, I get doing yyyy/mm/dd (especially if one wants to sort stuff by date and such), but why mm/dd/yyyy?
Because we do it how you say it. We say that today is "December 6th, 2022", so we write it 12/06/2022. That's why your way makes no sense to US. To say it the way you write it, we would have to say that today is "The 6th of December, 2022" which is not how we would normally say it except maybe at some kind of formal function or announcement.
That's all it is.
No, I know, and it makes sense if you look at it that way, for sure.
I have these conversations with my wife often (although not as often as those about measurement systems) and she often tells me she can't take it anymore
But since I'm at it, I will just add there is no reasonable circumstance where the US measurement system makes more sense than the metric system, other than being born using it
