I think there is an intrinsic reason. Dates go from smaller to larger units,

Does that work? It seems to me that pi'e should bear at least some
resemblance
to an ordinary decimal point.

{pi'e} is explicitly for joining different bases or moduli (16 or variable),
the relative size is not important.  What resemblance to ordiary decimal
points do you want?
