I don't know of any device that rejects files of a particular encoding. Can
you give an example of such a device?

No, he just can't view the invariant sections on his device. The requirement
is that you give him those sections when you distribute the document, not
that he be able to read them on every device he owns.
If we extrapolate your argument out to the extreme, I am breaking the
license if I print out the document (along with Japanese invariant sections)
and give it to someone who doesn't understand Japanese. That's plain stupid.
