All that being said, it would not be impossible to make this work. The reserved characters can be represented via % hex escape sequences (such as space being %20), if this was something that people wanted to fix.

I don't know of any real technical reqasons why this couldn't be made to work.
It's a human issue: typing [[C%23]] is not really wiki.
Also, % code are currently decoded as it is, iirc, and used sometimes for interwiki links.
