Why does <string>.length return the number of bytes and not the

<dstring>.length return the number of UTF-16 and UTF-32
characters?

This is simply wrong. All strings return number of codeunits. And it's
only UTF-32 where codepoint (~ character) happens to fit into one codeunit.
Wouldn't it be more consistent to have <string>.length return the
number of UTF-8 characters as well (instead of having to use
std.utf.count(<string>)?
It's consistent as is.
