Businesses with local customers and employees want to make things comfortable

Transliterations are often dicey at best.
Yes. Kudos to ISPF 3.17. II have created a file containing Cyrillic
characters; tagged it as
UTF-8 (IBM-1208):
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=descriptions-chtag-change-file-tag-information>;
set my X3270 to IBM-880; and the characters automatically display properly.
Did you have to change terminal settings to see the names in cyrillic?
Well...
Let's assume the following case:
/UNdirectory:
drwxr-xr-x 5 paulgilm wheel 160 Jan 27 13:50 Hebrew_name
drwxr-xr-x 5 paulgilm wheel 160 Jan 27 13:50 Russian_name
drwxr-xr-x 5 paulgilm wheel 160 Jan 27 13:50 Berber_name
drwxr-xr-x 5 paulgilm wheel 160 Jan 27 13:50 Greek_name
Which names will be properly displayed at a time?
Disclaimer: I don't fight, I discuss. I just asked OP about reasons and
actually did not get answer. Of course if you want to use national names
for system objects - feel free to do that. Your choice.
