It probably sticks because it matches natural-language usage: "I was born on January 31, 1994" East Asian languages are better at this: in Chinese you would say 我是1994年1月31日出生的 (So the "MM-DD-YY is a better fit for humans" thing is false, East Asia works fine with YYYY-MM-DD even in natural language)

Both are madness. In Portuguese/Spanish, both spoken and written, the most relevant information comes first, so dd/mm/yyyy. Most of the time the year is irrelevant. "A reunião será no próximo dia 15"
