Why is the first day of the week decided by the country format? (lemm.ee)

So...yeah. Why is the first day of the week chosen by the format of the country you choose for everything related to the time section? As in, I'd like my first day of the week to start on Mondays, not Sundays, but now I need to figure a country that speaks English, also matches my preferred date format (DD/MM/YYYY), and chooses to have Mondays as first day of the week. As a person living abroad, this choice of having all pre-assigned per country makes it super cumbersome and having to have a reverse thought on how to get the right preference...Wouldn't there be an easier way to set these? Windows preset them as per your country of choice too, but then you can granularly change them at your own leisure...

Sorry didn't mean to rant, as I've been a KDE user for a very long time. But this has always been irking me, and I never quite got the reasoning behind.

Thanks!

For the calendar plasmoid you can set the preference for the first day of the week independently of your locale, in case that's all you need.

Thanks! That option also works, at least for the clock widget! And I'll be also choosing English - Ireland for now, hopefully this one sorts the rest of the formatting issues.
