In Japan everyone passes around CSVs in shift-jis still for exactly this reason - the default opening action of Excel with CSVs.
Its easy to say its people being dumb, but at this point I really wish excel just wasn't so confident in itself and actually asked you during the default open operation what you want to do.

Actually UTF-8 WITH BOM csv file also can be read/written like that since Excel 2016, but of course average users aren't knowledgeable as like programmers.
