I think, they just don't care and write text as usual. C standard was created with implication that strings are in system codepage and no transcoding is ever mentioned, it's a language for ASCII text. There is even problem when program code is edited in a gui editor and saved in ANSI codepage, after compilation hardcoded strings are not transcoded and remain in ANSI codepage, printf just writes text blindly, so the output is broken.
