I agree some of the choices are questionable, but they have done quite a bit of research in reaching what they currently use: https://github.com/alphagov/govuk

  But, they didn't test the native date inputs, just drop-down and text options. So my point stands for now. At least they do research and document. Thanks for those links. I build my web sites based on first- and third-party research, but work in an organization stuffed with managers who want our sites to look more like TikTok, because that's what they spend most of their time on, and think we don't look like a real company if we don't have pop-ups and garrish colors, and things flying around the screen. We're a healthcare company. I had one manager tell me that the company's web site didn't look like a "real" web site because it didn't have lots of little placeholder spinners. Explaining that they're not needed because the page loads in under a second got me a look like when you're trying to explain temporal physics to a collie.

    The short answer is that the native date inputs aren't accessible. They don't work nicely with all assistive technology like JAWS. There's more of a discussion here https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system-backlog/issues/17 https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system-backlog/issu...
