Is that not the format that's actually used in the US? I mean, it's utterly insane, but a lot of people really are used to having the components of the date in random order.

nope, we use the format that matches the words spoken so Friday September 15th, 2023 would be Fri 9/15/2023 sometimes the year is shortened

take into account that your "words spoken" isn't necessarily how other say it. For me, saying 15th of july of 2023 sounds way more natural in english.

I wonder if they have a special rule to use dd/mm/yyyy on the 4th of July.

Nope, it's "July 4th" or "the 4th of July" though and they're weirdly interchangeable
