ISO 8601 is paywalled
RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

The difference:

2023-12-12T21:18Z is ISO 8601 format

2023-12-12 21:18 is RFC 3339 Format

A small change

I definitely don't agree that the RFC is easier to read, the two numbers can appear to be one at a quick glance without a separator.

But there is a separator between the numbers: the same one that also very reliably separates the words in this comment

A single separator is better than a choice of separators to mean the same thing.
A space is not as apparent in a large log of data as a capital T
Human language is not as strict as a programming language. There is a reason you see people still using "alot" and "a lot". That just proves it's easy to overlook and commonly happens.
