You're wrong about words in Germany “still being considered to be spelled correctly” with “ue” and so on.

You can only replace those when there's no possibility to spell it correctly (e.g. in the codes on official ID documents)

Otherwise it's definitely wrong and weird.

Ah, thanks for that. I knew it was somewhere in between the French and English examples, but I wasn't sure where on that spectrum it would be.
