> No it is not "subjective", it is objectively *not* a date.

Depends on your definition of "date". It doesn't *have* to be a day, another
acceptable definition is: "a Point in time". A particular month is by that
definition a date: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/date#Noun_2 (#3)

Either way, even if you believe that ISO8601 isn't a valid date without the day
(which is fine, it is a standard, hence subjective), a user-specified date that
is of type YYYY-MM seems like a perfectly valid date to me. Calc knows this is
a date because I've told it that it is.

Given this it seems reasonable to assume it should be know that 2019-12 is
followed by 2020-01.
At least, I'd consider that a bug in my own programs.
