Ascii (and keyboards) only have a single key for ' and ". They are used as both apostrophes, and quotation marks. Typing in code using proper opening and closing quotation marks would be tedious. Editors could choose to apply some smarts and display strings wrapped in quotes using "curly quotes", but that complicates copy-and-paste and so on. Given the entry situation, the only sane thing to do is use a font that makes both ' and " vertical bars.
