Can you immediately tell? Do you memorize the last day you released? Do you release daily? There's definitely some benefit to making the version equal to the date, but you lose all the other benefits of semver (categorizing the scope of the release being the big one). That's not a strange philosophy, it's just being a good api provider.
You're right. I'm looking at it through a very limited scope: nightly releases. I've been working with "latest" so long, I forgot actual versions exist.
