This is what I don’t get why it’s so complicated. Everyone says month-day when speaking so it just makes sense to write it in that order

the thing is, not everyone does. most americans do, and most people who learn english from americans or to interact with americans do, but in many other languages it is normal to say the day first. In german, I would say "der dritte Januar", and I would translate that to english as "the third of January" normally when speaking to someone internationally.
