.. That’d completely fall apart at the first hint of anything vaguely nontrivial going on with input, whether due to the user’s language, accessibility tech, or autocorrect on a touch keyboard.
I remember being a non-Latin-script user in the age of localization patches and country-specific builds, and very much appreciate today’s “(try not to ruin) i18n first” approach (among other things implied by the above), but a simple input API absolutely was a casualty of that, even if you LoB app is completely fine being ASCII-only (however dubious a statement that is).
(No experience with Power Apps, but I don’t think there is a single modern platform where that’ll be easy.)
