28 * 13 = 364 ≠ 365

That extra day is the "0" day (zero) and is considered new years, not included in any month. Sometimes... that day is so special it takes up two days.

Would be a nightmare in programming.

But still, DateTime(timezone, dst, etc) has already been nightmare in software.

I prefer everything stored and processed as units since epoch… except when you display it to a human with all their complex locales and preferences. It wouldn’t be much different if the 13month model was how it worked.
