So you can have third party non-cookie analytics for example without a banner.
(I worked on this pattern) Our guidance is to accept both names and numbers in the back end so people can enter either. In our testing, text inputs (with a numeric keyboard on mobile) is better than selects. Some people struggle with using selects, we don't see those issues in text inputs. That guidance maybe be about people not knowing the order of the inputs (DD MM YY, MM DD YY) but our pattern is clearly labeled for each input so we don't get that issue.
We did continue our testing which resulted in the pattern in the design system which is linked.
"To Matt Mullenweg I want to say: please take better care of your community, because WordPress is nothing without it. Cherish the people who dedicate their (own) time and who work very hard to make WordPress the best it can be. Don’t ignore or make fun of them, but talk to them, guide them, inform them. Don’t be disconnected from the community, be part of it."
