On Android you can also click on the year and it should give you a grid view of years

But how is that easier than just tapping 4 numbers?

It depends. Perhaps for blind people tapping 4 numbers isn't so easy.

Thanks, I didn’t realize the year on the corner was clickable.

On Pixel (android 12), it opens a scrolling list, temporarily replacing the calendar month/day view.
