The order of operations is made from consensus. Just like we all agree the first letter of the alphabet is "A". You could make the order of operations whatever you like, you would just need to rewrite equations to reflect that change.

No it isn't. It's a natural consequence of the definitions in the first place. e.g. 2x3 is shorthand for 2+2+2, so if you don't do multiplication before addition then you get the wrong answer, hence the order of operations rules.
