Flatpickr was added as a polyfill to provide a date/time picker UI for browsers lacking native `<input type="datetime-local">` support, most notably Firefox at the time. Both Firefox and Safari have since shipped native support: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/input/datetime-local#browser_compatibility The datetime picker behavior checks for native browser support and skips initializing Flatpickr when it detects it. Since modern Firefox and Safari both pass that check, Flatpickr is never actually activated in any browser in use today, and removing it causes no visual or functional regression.
