Dates are difficult to read in general because there is such a plethora of date formats in use everywhere, many of which are ambiguous. At first it takes longer than necessary to even recognize that a group of characters is a date. Then I must figure out which order the year, month and day are written in, which often requires a careful analysis. After that is done I can finally read the date. Personally I'm most used to the standard date format and the standard time format, so those are easy to read to me. I'm not so used to seeing T as a separator, so I find it easier to read when the date and time are separated by a space, but the desire to have the timestamp as a single token is understandable.
