I misread the man page for date(1), 'date -I' (I for ISO) or
equivalently 'date --iso-8601' _does_ output

  2022-02-16

while the mentioned "2006-08-14T02:34:56-06:00" is an example
what one can do with FMT, which is optional.

I suppose that example is there because that long/detailed
format can be useful in computer systems, not just the details
but also the form (no whitespace and always the same length
with the individual data items in specific fields almost, like
a packet specification in a network protocol ...).
