English has around 14 vowels (the exact number depends on dialect and on how you count). If we can represent English with the five Latin vowel letters, surely we could invent a way to represent Bulgarian.
Your point about computer systems is true, but I think they’re slowly getting better at representing diacritics over time.

No language perfectly matches pronunciation and spelling, largely because of regional differences and changes over time. And yet you can spell the majority of Bulgarian or Serbian correctly with the Romanian spelling system.
