People want it so that there's a need for it. Why do you think people need not edit UTF-8 files when connecting to a remote host with a terminal emulator or in console? IMHO, UTF-8 is US-ASCII of the future if not right now. Can you imagine an editor that cannot speak US-ASCII on a system where US-ASCII is the default encoding for text?
