Everything on the right is far easier for the average person to translate into opportunity cost at face value, making it far easier to make informed decisions.

Everything on the left is unnecessarily, sometimes even outright overly complicated - with the exception of month-date-year being a far superior system to adhere to the easily categorized alphanumeric rules for ordering indexed computer files.
