I think most people would rather get in their car, drive to the ocean, board a ship and join the navy, and come back after a few years abroad - than following some instructions on how to use the computer.

Pretty funny, and probably some truth to that being a user sentiment.
OTOH, they have to follow some process to use the software. For just the CSV export, they already have to ensure column orders, values, formats, maybe headers, etc. Selecting UTF-8 from a dropdown seems like the easy part.

My accrued compatibility shims disagree.

Sorry to hear that. You have my sympathies.
Joining the navy and then be obliged to follow instructions on so many things you'd normally never even be ordered to do (because now you're in the Navy, sailor! and there are three ways to do any thing: the right way, the wrong way, and the Navy way, and guess which way we use here in the Navy?), just to not follow some instructions on how to use the computer... is something I can actually imagine some people doing.
