That’s not the default layout for most and it causes trouble when wanting to use those symbols on their own, which would be much more often than typing diacritics.

Okay sorry, let me clarify something. It’s okay for the layperson to omit accents. My issue is that it’s considered acceptable in government papers, academic articles, books, etc.
