Allowing the filesystem to track creation time means you have to worry about how you move the data around and whether the tools you're using preserve it properly. A folder named 20250221-nyc-trip is a coarse but very durable way to store that.
20250221-nyc-trip is not a creation time, it's an identifier of the subject. they're both dates but they're different things.
I mean, if you define your identifiers to start with the creation time, then it's both.
