Low (indeed, zero) cost software is now available that runs well on low-end hardware and fully supports the Unicode Standard, with no need for font hacks or further 8-bit encodings.
There is, moreover, a non-zero cost to revising a program or OS to use a new 8-bit encoding. Realistically, people running machines or using software too old to use Unicode aren't likely to get much advantage at this point by the creation of a new 8-bit standard.
