I do agree that this is an heresy for the encoding of texts.
But not for processing of grapheme clusters within internal
processes that need a single code to represent them, such as
fonts when they need to map them to glyph IDs (may be before
or after contextual shaping, which may need its own glyph IDs).
This is not an heresy for renderers as there's no intent to
transmit the generated graphic documents as plain-text...
