Those things only matter when your strings contain human-oriented text, but that's not the only (and dare I say not even most common) usage of strings. Obviously it's best to be explicit about how you want the contents of your strings to be treated, but absent that, I don't see how defaulting to ordinal string comparison is Anglo-centric. The English culture doesn't use ordinal comparison. Defaulting to ordinal comparison can actually _prevent_ breakage for people using non-English cultures, because strings suddenly behave differently in ways the developer didn't anticipate or test. (Also, I should've said codeunit-compare instead of byte-compare, since C# strings are always UTF-16 encoded).
