Implement wrappers everywhere? Why can't they just write a single function that takes an ISO date a spits out a string (human readable) date? I'd put money down that such a function already exists in almost every library that deals with dates.

    That's why I said "implement" and not just "write". The process of wiring in that existing function has non-negligible cost, as does keeping it updated/patched.

    Sure, it should be pretty small - but it's non-zero. Is it worth it? That's a product decision.
