Native datepickers fall apart when you need to handle different date formats as user preferences (not as browser default)

The browser, called the User Agent (UA), IS the program the user uses to interact with a website according to his preferences.

Maybe. How many users change the defaults, or even know it’s an option?

When all websites respect their settings and they don't like what the websites do, they will search "how do I change X...", which would point them to the browser settings. If no website respect them, they won't bother. Also these settings come from the OS, which asked the user on install what e.g. date format he wants to use.
