One hypothesis behind the leap year is so that we can keep the months aligned with the seasons and the reason why February was chosen is so that we can get through winter much quicker (illusion of time). But with climate change there has been a shift of subjective winter stop and start dates, at least in Europe, for the past couple of years. Where the typical first snow fall happens right after Christmas and snow persists until late April.
If we would have disregarded leap years for the past 100 years, we could have kept the original promise of having the months align with the seasons, though in the end, we changed ourselves out of the concept.
