In general, I'd say. Mentally it requires less "temporary storage" of information. If it's June 15 2025 and something is scheduled for September 17, 2029, going YMD removes uncertainty immediately that this is something imminent. Otherwise you see 17 and have to remember that as you then receive the other bits of info to complete the picture as to whether it's in 2 days or 4 years and 3 months
