A lot of software still doesn't handle unicode well. Classic example being anything parsing SSIDs from Wireless access points.
I wanted to name my network five bleading hearts or "JEFFREY EPSTEIN SUICIDE SQUAD", but I had to settle for "EPSTEIN SUICIDE SQUAD" due to unicode issues + character limits.
I previously used the network name "FLESHLIGHT" about a decade ago in college, but I was told such a name might offend the neighbors so I picked a different one when I moved back.
When it comes to naming SSIDs you need to blend in and not draw attention. Go for the default SSID or name it something generic like ‘NETGEAR-123’. Avoid emojis or non ASCII characters as old devices will just show a load of garbage or ‘emojibake’

TL;DR: The issue isn't bandwidth.
I did that for over ten years, people just abuse privlidged access to make their own truth.
Why should I blend in on my personal network?
Why should I repeat the same actions expecting different results?
