The letter “a” has a frequency of ~8%, and it would indead be anoying, but lets say the letter “q” is rendered incorrectly which has a frequency of ~0.1% then thats just some minor issue.
While in a practical sense your argument might hold water (which I doubt, to be honest), this is not just a practical matter. This is also a matter of respect. If you think that mis-representing q is not a problem because it appears so less, then do you also think that disregarding the religious tenets of minorities is fine since they make up such a small part of the population?
I don't know why we shouldn't strive to have computers to reproduce language precisely, since computers are how we communicate most of the time and how the majority of content ends up being preserved. After all, maybe we shouldn't bother with spelling in English either, since everyone can safely approximate the meaning anyway!
