People remember their birthdate as a string of numbers.
So why use a date picker for this and not go with 3 number inputs which would be a lot easier to enter your birthdate in.

However, they also mention that many of their users are on iPads. On iPad there is no numeric only keyboard so it's not the best experience. Not terrible, but it's annoying that iPhone has a numeric keyboard but on iPad it's just a full keyboard, even when you request numeric only. We ran into this same issue and ended up just creating our own keyboard to make input simpler.
