Like I said, my own language has accents and my own name has accents. I value practicality and being available, if I'm taking the time to create a website and host it. I would think the OP would be familiar with the fact that every single website in their country, even when the brands have accents in their names, do not use them in their URLs. Their choice is a novelty one. I'm not sure why you're getting offended over something that is purely practical and that affects me personally and I still do the practical thing.

Not dumbing down your own culture to submit to the outdated limitation of the American Standard Code for Information Interchange is not a novelty. Forgoing your language is not practicality.

It's normal to expect technology to evolve to be usuable by all rather than expect people changing to conform to technology. People should fight for that more often.

Even us, users of IDN domains, still submit to the outdated and always present ASCII. Punycode is, after all, still ASCII and "real" UTF-8 characters are rarely and exceptionally seen in DNS.

It may be debated that with introduction of punycode, support for real accent and non ASCII characters was hindered.

https://pi.cr.yp.to/ experimented with UTF-8 in domain names before punycode and this will rarely ever work in the future, purely because now we have a half-solved problem with punycode and no one will bother to implement UTF-8 domains - it's would be ambiguous.

I'd rather get my website seen if I'm putting work into it than have a novelty URL that much less people will navigate to and will be harder to verbally communicate, and fill in online forms that assume ascii, just for some idealogical fight against internet standards.

Why respect your origin when you can just submit to American imperialism after all?
