People (on Linux & MacOS) are fucking lazy. I’ve been using topographically correct quotes, apostrophes and dashes since forever. It takes a minute to learn which key + Opt/AltGr does em/en dashes.

Of course you’re right about Windows, which for some inexplicable reason ships with braindead useless keyboard layouts. I don’t blame its users for not seeking out better keyboard layouts, that’s much more involved than finding the right key combination.
