I am not in the USA (and far from being US-centric as well) and I have
been working
with relational databases for over thirty years. I never had problems
using unquoted
ASCII names (using snake_case) for my database objects.
Would it be nice if I could use special characters like öäü in the names
of tables and columns (without the hassle of quoting them)?
Yes, absolutely.
But you can use them without quoting:
select version();
version
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 12.3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (SUSE Linux)
7.5.0, 64-bit
create table öäü (id int , fld_1 varchar);
insert into öäü values (1, 'test');
select * from öäü;
id | fld_1
----+-------
1 | test
