#2They are wrong. Most OS native date pickers are very bad from a usability perspective. A javascript date picker fixes these issues, and allows more functions.
And why are they arguing against their own product? Even making up bogus claims that using js date pickers would be illegal in Europe?

#3Native datepickers fall apart when you need to handle different date formats as user preferences (not as browser default)

#4> Travel booking often has a fixed schedule with limited time options, such as every 15 minutes. Relative dates like “Today” and “Tomorrow” can be easier to understand.
Except when you're booking a flight and you're not sure whether "today" is based on your local time, the server's local time, or GMT. (I often book flights right about midnight and find words like "today" and "tomorrow" to be completely confusing.)

#5The context of the date being chosen should guide you to the appropriate picker.
For example, for a dinner reservation, a calendar can be useful to explore availability on weekends. But if I have to enter my birthdate, then it’s quicker to enter it numerically. I don’t need to consider other dates and the day of the week is irrelevant.

#6My take is that Date, Time and DateTime pickers are not enough. I want month pickers. Week pickers, custom interval pickers and then some. I really dislike how limited the selection of native form elements is.

#9I wish there's a native calendly style time slot picker too.

#10Does it have options like multiple date pickups, pickups for a particular month only, and a yearly pickup?
