Gee it would be so nice if the software writers would do the same.

John,
It is the ongoing fashion, nothing else. Life cycles are shorter

I recall that when the FCC first authorized the use of ASCII code for
RTTY in addition to Baudot in 1980, the ham radio press made it appear
that this was a really big deal.
I've Googled information on ASCII RTTY, and find no indication that is
being used to any significant extent. ARRL states
It seems not so robust and more prone to errors. It requires the correct
decoding of 7 bits vs 5 bits on Baudot.
I read the same in old QST's.

In about 1979 I had a DGM electronic keyboard and display setup. It
also sent and received ASCII besides decoding RTTY and CW. Software
programs were transmitted on the ham bands and I remember receiving
many of them letter perfect. There was even a British Broadcast
station that sent ASCII
Hi John,
I was just getting relicensed about the time that ASCII was approved for
ham radio as a major breakthrough for advanced technology. I asked one
of my long time digital friends to explain what this meant. He said that
after a very short time, it was quickly realized that 110 baud ASCII

I agree about your ASCII comment but as far as RTTY goes, just
about anyone can copy it with machine (as I still do) or by computer.
Did you ever notice that the ARRL bulletins still to this day put a
CR/LF at the end of a 70 letter line. Still a lot of machines out
there still working after
