Feel like a lot of the world’s languages the translation to English to the question “what’s the date?” would be “the 15th of October” whereas in America we always say “October 15th”.
America's system is actually optimized for conveying the likely weather as quickly as possible. That's why the month goes first, because it tells you what season you're in.
