Because the format isn't always obvious, using the abbreviated month prevents any possible confusion.

numerals work well in any language... there’s that.
Does anyone ever do YYYYDDMM?! Never seen that.

It's great for files. Put that at the beginning of any file and you have the date. Yes, you can sort by date, but for folders that multiple people view, the date at the beginning of the file leaves no mistakes.

I propose a good folder structure, with human readable file names and let date modified deal with the rest. People suck at updating file name dates, you often just get a v2 at the end or a final-final-v4.

People who add "final" into a file name need to be taken outside and beaten.
