If the main feature is it's variable-length, why would any programmer assume the length doesn't vary?
Because UTF-8 is the Unicode encoding that looks just like ASCII, so long as the characters stay within the set supported by ASCII, so it lets them say they're doing "Unicode" while really just writing code to handle ASCII.
