Everywhere else people use ASCII mail addresses, even though they are
often writing mail in non-ASCII character sets.
I get plenty of non-ASCII characters in the quote part of mail

Right, but they do not use the SMTPUTF8/EAI mechanism (raw UTF8
characters) but instead use the long-established MIME mechanism for
encoding non-ASCII header fields using Base64 or Quoted-Printable.
