I'd expect the reason to be very simple: U+0027 APOSTROPHE is easy to key
in.

Aihe: Exemplifying apostrophes

I’m working on normalizing entries in over 1,000 languages in a lexical
database. One of the tasks I’m finding most difficult is normalizing
apostrophe-like characters. I was hoping to use documents at the Unicode Web
site, including translations of “What is Unicode” and of UDHR, as guides for
some languages, but many of the documents seem to contain U+0027 APOSTROPHE
where my reading of the standard says other characters are preferred. I’m
curious about the reason.
