Can you provide an example of a calculation?

It's per the XPath 2 spec:
There is no property to change this behavior.
It kind of makes sense in a way given the types available in XPath: if you have two dates, you can easily know exactly the difference is number of days. It could to make sense to get a difference that includes months, but you would need a type able to represent years, months, and days. XPath 2 only has yearMonthDuration, which doesn't include days.

That is what I assumed and it does make sense and I explained to client that subtracting with results in days is the only way to be accurate. And since you have a start and end date makes sense. For the other requirement of adding durations to a given date I informed them that I could add a duration of Years and then months and then days to a date. This is a criminal justice effort in which they get sentences in Years, Months and Days and then possibly subtract days for time served (credit). Thank you for looking into this. Enjoy upcoming weekend.
