A lot of those date and time pickers will fail WCAG testing as well.

In most cases, GDS now use just 3 text fields for day, month and year, but recommend pickers for dates close to today's date e.g. for booking an appointment, because a picker is easier if you don't know the exact date without reference to a calendar.

Sadly they don't currently have a recommended picker, but there's a useful discussion of what has been tried here:
