What’s so special about February 20, 2030 (6:29am)?

Putting the year first makes it unambiguous. Some places do month-day-year, and other places do day-month-year, so any date up to the 12th of the month can be confused. But if the year comes first then it's always year-month-day.

Also, a 4-digit year is important here.

Touché. I suppose the separators are important also.

...How are you parsing the timestamp? I can't get it to match.

20230629:

  20 - day of month

   2 - month (w/o leading zero)

  30 - year

   6 - hour (w/o leading zero)

  29 - minute
Nightmare fuel. :-)

And very close to something I’ve seen in a large Austrian company.
