The irony is, Microsoft originally put a space in "Program Files" intentionally, to force software developers to support paths with spaces in. I don't know why

I don't know why developers have apparently collectively decided to go backwards. If your software doesn't support spaces there's a reasonable chance it doesn't support more exotic characters either, which really sucks if you are not natively English speaking.

The problem with space is that it's often a separator, which will not be the case for exotic characters. Fixing issues with exotic characters will not necessarily fix issues with spaces, and vice versa.
