The default Android keyboard (Google keyboard) had/has an issue like this. It really likes to auto-complete a to å and ä even though the keys are at opposite ends of the (Swedish) keyboard. If I wanted to write "här" (here) instead of "har" (have/has) I would've used ä...
I have done all of those things. But my customers simply were not affected negatively by the technical choices I made. (and I have great relationships and very open communication with the people I've served)
I implemented single fields for personal names, single textareas for addresses and some very basic content format selections and collation and my simple solutions have solved _all_ of my customers needs in these areas.
It seems to be some bizarre assumption that _everyone_ has a bad experience because some code wasn't done they way they would do it. It's absurd to be accused of something that has simply not been a problem for my users.

But how is it a personal bias if I never run into these technical issues to deal with in the first place?
You have never sorted any texts? Never made a list of names?
Never implemented a search function?
These aspects can easily creep into an app without you even noticing. Saying "I haven't seem them" is not proof for them not being there.
E.g. web servers had some surprise security bugs because they didn't think about overly long utf-8 codes.
