Someone made the decision years ago that all of the default/sample content should use that date so people couldn't identify the CMS version based on the dates of the content. Can't say I agree with it, but that's the reasoning.

It also doesn't help that in 2017 we still work with raw SQL dumps and still can't use proper PHP APIs to seed our database.

All the more reason to have the installation date (which will be pseudo random then) as the timestamp.

@brianteeman all Articles get installation-Date in J3, so i guess this Issue can be closed.

Sample data will be rewritten for Joomla 4 I hope so this won't be an issue. I would close it for now
