Yes, but everyone *does* also see that it's way easier to remember
that years that divide by four are leap years, with a special rule you
use once a century, than try to figure out where we are in a 33-year
cycle.

We can always fix the Gregorian calendar by not having a leap year in
4,000 A.D., or we could allow an odd number - 9 instead of 33 - to be
used for the century rule, and follow the Orthodox Church rule, but
even that is complicated and awkward by comparison.
