Often theme and plugin use special format for the date show single
articles or front page, even the format under WP uption is I18N in the
language file so the default value is according the locale habit, soi
don't see anything wrong in it.

My theme should be designed to offer a short date format (dd/mm/YY)
and if i use the Wp format that maybe is eset to something long (
dayname, DD MonthName YYYY) tha layout of my theme could get all
upset, but localizing it i still need to edit it cause a US designer
will set date in MM/DD/YY format but in italy we use DD/MM/YY, so i
don't see anything wrong in it.
