Because there are many lang_COUNTRY.UTF-8 locales: ja_JP.UTF-8, zh_TW.UTF-8, fr_FR.UTF-8, etc... If only en_US.UTF-8 should use surrogateescape, it may make confusing situation like: "This script works in English Linux desktop, but doesn't work in Japanese Linux desktop!" I accepted PEP 540. So even if failed to coerce locale, it is better than Python 3.6.
