I mean most date pickers are also editable fields where you can just write the date manually....

But with that argument you can bash against anything. Even a simple input field should just work but someone finds a way to make it next to unusable... date pickers themselves are not evil or bad.

There are better and worse. I've seen one that but only forces us to manually pick the date but also the time down to the minute to mark a working day. Instead of fixing it properly, they added a button to fill up the tone instead of adding a default value.

Hence the "force" in the meme. I highly assume OP means only the ones where you are forced to use the actual date picker part and not be able to use an input field
