USA is the edgy teen after moving out of the parents house (Europe) and finally doing stuff their own way. Not because it is practical, but because they feel rebellious.

Many of us are not from Europe

What year are you living in, 1951?

20% of the population in 1776 were slaves who came from Africa. There are more countries outside Europe

Majority of the world uses YYYY-MM-DD. Day 1st makes no sense. If you need the month or year it should come 1st. You need to zoom into what you need not select from any number of months with the same day. That would be like putting time with seconds 1st.

Not really, most countries use YYYY-MM-DD to save documents, photos or archive papers.

DD-MM-YYYY is for daily usage.
