I know these usecases. In practice, people will still just romanize their name or the name of their city to the Latin alphabet anyway.
The reality is that Unicode is great for communication in say, text messages but terrible for identifiers. People in non-latin countries know this; there's a reason that there's only six countries (from what I can tell) that went with punycode TLDs while there are many more countries with unique alphabets and most of those punycode TLDs see very limited use to begin with. (The most popular being the one used by the Russian Federation, which is also the only entity to forbid using non-cyrillic characters in it's domain names).
