it is very easy to check for well-formed UTF-8 encoding.
The chance that a binary file contains only well-formed UTF-8 is reasonably small even with fairly short files.
So what exactly is the problem?

Furthermore, a binary file containing well-formed UTF8 is presumably harmless if printed or otherwise treated as text - at least it's no worse than a binary file that happens to contain only ascii characters.
