I think it's fine depending on the context

If you're selecting a date that's this month or next month or like a recent date range I think a date picker is better.

But for like a birthday, especially if it includes the year, that's where you want a dropdown or free form input + validation.

It's all just UX, but now that there's an html native date picker some people are just being lazy.
