Okay, well sorry I was being snarky, so let me try to be a bit more serious.
You are proposing that we teach millions-billions of people a new way to write, rather than teach a few hundred thousand at most how to write computer programs that accommodate existing ways of writing.
Like maybe you underestimate how genuinely ridiculously hard of a problem it is to get billions of people to do anything! It would take literal decades of work by multiple governments and unimaginable amounts of money! Getting 10 people to agree on a favorite programming language is hard enough. Teaching a city full of kids a new way to multiply numbers takes 1000s of hours of prep, planning, syllabus development etc. by teachers. Just imagine how much harder this is.
Certainly I can see how nice it would be if the whole world used the same date format, same language, same metric system etc.
But from a practical point of view, making systems to accommodate the way people do things is 1000s of times cheaper and easier than getting them all to change.
