That's a very misleading statement. IRIs are for the majority of people in the world whose language isn't written exclusively with the Latin script - more specifically, the ASCII version of the Latin script, which doesn't even include diacritical marks. The IRI https://example.com/menu/pâtés https://example.com/menu/pâtés is a lot better than the best equivalent URI: https://example.com/menu/p%C3%A2t%C3%A9s https://example.com/menu/p%C3%A2t%C3%A9s
