Yes. It will happen whether it’s desireable or not. For example, I think it’s inevitable that the US will use an ISO date format eventually, and further down the line I think many Asian scripts will be replaced with western etc.

About half the programmers I know (including myself) already write dates as 2019-10-27 even when using a pen, it really is a more convenient format.
