I’m not one to defend google, but in the matter of a datepicker… it’s 2023 for crying out loud! A datepicker standard should have been solved and implemented about 20 years ago.

Admittedly it’s non-trivial dealing with dates across regions, time zones, DST, etc, but c’mon, it’s been clearly solvable for decades.

I didn’t even know <input type="date"> was a thing, I rely on JS datepicker libraries in various places. However there’s usually plenty of configuration that goes along with that, so I’m not surprised it isn’t optimal in all cases.
