Good point. I was somehow thinking SQL Server and wanted to write
>= and <
but forgot at some point.

Still the point is to use direct DATE comparision to make this query sargable as opposite to your and Tore's suggestions that would make this query non-sargable.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
