I don't see much problems with single-user machines, especially security related. But, think multi-user environments? Imagine, as a non-Chinese speaking Westerner, needing to chown a file to a colleague called 陈成. Even if you have Pinyin configured, you might not even know how to type it. (Of course, you have the same problem with filenames that have essentially no limitations. I know from experience how hard it is to type names in Arabic which I can't read.)
