I don't think it's that deep, it's just how we say it over here. People do sometimes say it the other way, too, it's just less common. If someone is just talking about a date in the same month we're currently in we usually just say the number without the month (the 12th). It's interesting to hear it really does seem to mimic the way people say it out loud in every case so far in these replies!
