    Well yes, we use double quotes as you said, it may be annoying, but not difficult, sanitization is another matter.
    I actually don’t remember of any terminal application that has issues with that, that’s why I made the original question

    Edit: I understood now why you mentioned sanitization, double quotes shouldn’t be an issue because in filenames they are forbidden by the OS usually, that’s on the user if they try

    Unpopular opinion maybe, but that’s just called bad programming.
    For strictly code we can’t use spaces obviously, user input, on the other hand, should be handled gracefully always, not doing so is like those platforms that only supported ASCII even after the international userbase was already very prominent because the devs were just too lazy to update their systems to use Unicode (Windows is still like that with Powershell I discovered recently… shudders)
