We could certainly do that... Things would happen in web2py.js thought, or we bringing out flatpickr from there... But it wouldn't work properly passing parameters time/date/datetime from validators IS_TIME(), IS_DATE(), etc. So we will get complaints saying that it doesn't work specifying date format from validator as before...
I would have make sure that python datetime format plugin would support most of the regular date time formating (not all) and we can just point people to improve the plugin if their formating is not cover... Writing a 2-3 use case plugin in the first place wouldn't be that long... We can craft a built massage telling people to improve the plugin when their usecase is not cover... So we can implement default web2py date time formating only to pick up flatpickr rapidly... I am not that good in javascript though, so I leave that to others...
