Yes, I fully agree with this point. Then why do you think as below?

I think there must not any software which can work only with UTF-8,
because such a software is bad one, just as 8bit-only softwares or
EUC-only softwares are bad.
Thus, we need not think about softwares whose I/O will be only in UTF-8.
