Of course not.
- Other terminal programs have metaSendsEscape-like default behavior
and their users survive.
- That option can be changed anytime in running xterm (Ctrl + left
mouse button).
- That option can be changed using ~/.Xresources file or -xrm option.
- Languages that use diacritical marks have a keymap which contains
often needed (composed) characters or "dead key".
- There are different input methods and programs for entering
characters.
But the default doesn't bother me. I just have that
"XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true" line on ~/.Xresources and it's done. And I
can write áàȩęäâãāåăǎőơỏłạȧ from my keyboard (for example).
