Who says you mustn't? Nobody.
Who says you needn't? Show me.
You can't expect other sites to accept broken mail.
Sending non-US-ASCII in a non-MIME mail is "broken", see RFC-2822:
mail is 7bit US-ASCII. The extension is MIME, RFC-2045..2049. How does
the recipient know what character set the mail is in?
If you don't care if your mail arrives, then of course you needn't send
technically correct mail... but you're not in the position to complain
about "very strict" sites.
They just chose not to send garbage out by not allowing garbage in.
No reason to complain.
