To be honest I would expect dates on a Dutch site to be shown in dutch format, just like I expect dates on American sites to be formatted in the US way.
How do we know when a site is Dutch? Maybe check the URL to see if the TLD indicates? I'm in agreement with showing/inputting dates in the users' regional setting.

plenty of designers say this, often company leadership is the one pushing them to style everything because everyone else does
Well the ones I've worked with couldn't care less. Of course they love to show off how good they are to the poor disabled people, but that doesn't mean anything until some government reminds us that we are in breach of contract unless we make our GUI accessible.

I’ve read some very user hostile things in my career, but this one is particularly acerbic. It’s a bad look. If I ever grew to hate users this much, I would find a new career. You should consider that.
I'm not being user hostile. I'm being cognizant that the skill levels of users is extremely wide, and to best serve everyone from a UX standpoint, it's best to limit the characters accepted in the input. It protects the user, helps them avoid mistakes.

this seems like a very mean spirited take on accessibility?

You can say "You're wrong". "You're lying", though, is almost never appropriate, and is, in itself, quite hostile.
Last time I checked, web-browsers today still do not allow you to style the appearance of built-in HTML validation messages [1]; this wouldn't be so bad if Chrome (and Firefox) still conformed to their OS platform UI guidelines (i.e. so it looks system-generated, like how `title=""` tooltips used to be), instead Chrome uses this ugly yellow/orange icon color with black-text on a white background on a bubble with a fi…
I never really understood why people want to style stuff like this. I like how you can express yourself by using colors and layout and stuff like that. But at some point usability is more important than branding.
This isn't an issue if everyone's an accessibly expert, otherwise we're sacrificing usability.
No it isn’t. It fucking sucks. Most everyone who learns HTML comes across the validation attributes, the god awful built in date pickers and other shit, and they throw it out in favour of custom built better UX implementations. Maybe in the past we would have been clueless because, well, they didn’t exist, but today they do. And they’re junk. Call spade a spade. Don’t call it heavily underused.

The second group does make things that look nicer, but the first ensures it can be used. You really want both, but then you need to be careful about who wins when they disagree.

And this also assumes that the browser validations are in any way usable to begin with. I would argue that they are not, and would require some sane styling to become usable in the first place.

It’s amazing how many login forms are labeled “email” and then don’t have the correct type set.
From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/in... > Browsers automatically provide validation to ensure that only text that matches the standard format for Internet email addresses is entered into the input box. Browsers use an algorithm equivalent to the following regular expression: > /^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0…
Really? I tested with a punycode domain on regex101 and it worked fine, do you mean that it only works with ones already converted to punycode?
