Do we really need such kind of magic?

I think it may be pretty confusing when after echo'ing or print'ing a variable
you can see one output, but after writing the very same variable into a file
you can see something completely different.

Absolutely, we do need it. Consider that the internal encoding is UTF-16 and outputting that directly to a terminal (or browser) is bound to cause havoc. That's just one of the examples.
