We want a definition which is both easy to explain to humans, and easy for computers to verify. Subtracting two dates to get a single number of days between is an easy thing for a computer to do (with the appropriate library), and comparing that to a defined number is also simple. So a definition like "398 days (just over 13 months)" fits both criteria IMO.
