ITT: people saying one thing is better than any other without thinking of context.
If I want to know today's date ISO 8601 isn't a good answer. And if I put stuff in folders by date then DD-MM-YYYY is a real bad way to do it. But MM-DD-YYYY is the worst one no matter the context.
I like YYYY-MM-DD because then I don't have to figure out half the time if they used MM-DD-YYYY or if they were sane.
I agree, if you truncate YYYY-MM-DD you can only shorten it to showing the year and month. Besides, if I ask someone the date and they start from the year I'll just pull my phone out.
The one you grew up with tends to be your preference. But the usual reason I give for MM-DD-YYYY is it matches how it's said.

I also know there's no point in arguing about this because, again, my first sentence. It's just team sports stuff, as usual. The only reason why you would bother to argue is if you were trying to convince people to use a standard. But as you pointed out, ISO 8601 already exists. That is the agreed upon standard already. But no one uses it, since we have our preferred systems of date format already ingrained.
FYI it’s not really said like that elsewhere, they say
“(Friday the) 25th of December, 2026”
Can be tailed to the relevant bit though.
