Because URLs are usually in ASCII. That was a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.
There is a standard way to encode Unicode into URLs, it definitely doesn't have to be ascii. Percent encoding is used all over the place.
EDIT: I don't mind a down vote but double down voting me from your alt @Asudox@lemmy.world is not cool. That's sockpuppetry/vote manipulation.
