People don't use this naming method exclusively to get away with exploiting. There are also tons of players who want a specific name and get it through using special characters. Quit the tunnel vision and think of the big picture.
And that would be ZOS' doing and not using a charactername@handle format like STO. Forcing people to use ascii code to get the 'same name'. Since this game is heavily dependant on @handle, they should have implemented character naming using that as the discriminant.People don't use this naming method exclusively to get away with exploiting.

You're completely right. It's not only exploiters..
It's also how they get inappropriate names past the censor and avoid being reported. Just today I saw one name containing 'póóf' in extended Chars. I've seen far worse in the past two days including a C-bomb using ų as the next letter.
North American server is an English based server. There are no extended character sets used in the English language. So there shouldn't be any need to have them. The Japanese can't even create their character names in Japanese but they have no trouble creating romanized versions of it.. so why should people who speak english as their first language require characters that don't exist in their language?
You think people get to choose extended character sets when they're choosing a licence plate for a vehicle or choosing a domain name? God no if that sh**s taken then tough titties choose another.. and besides how *** would ęlđəřšçŕöllśønlīñë.com look in a browser?
To be honest it's really annoying inviting people to a guild that have tons of special characters in their name because you can't type it in the box and I at least have no idea how to get their UserID just from a PM message.

So people who live in Spanish speaking countries aren't allowed to type in Spanish on the server that they live closest to?
Big picture.

You never have to type in the name of someone you're reporting unless they flew by you in a split second, just long enough to get a glimpse of the name before they disappeared into the sunset.
