I don't know why you have been down-voted, but you're somehow right. In American English it is common to put month before the day. An URL in the submission contains locale "en-us". If you would switch the localization of the website, let's say to German (de-de), you will see "9.1.2022". Give a try in other languages:
Yep the localization in the URL combined with the fact it's an American company really makes this not ambiguous at all. The downvotes are really unnecessary
It's an American company so it's really not ambiguous
I don't think that necessarily follows. ~4% of the world population is American so it's likely that a sizable chunk of the website traffic expects the non-US date format.

I have never seen a US company publish a date in a non-US date format. Not once
You see YYYY-MM-DD sometimes, but that's clearly not confusable.
