If by "insist", you mean the standard insist that implementations support UTF-8 by default. The rest of the standard already just talks about sequences of unicode characters, so I don't see much to be gained by prohibiting other encodings. In particular, I have read that systems set up for east asian scripts often use UTF-16 as a default encoding.
