Because the RFCs are defined only for ascii.  Non-ascii in RFC 2822 addresses is an RFC violation.  In python2 non-ascii would usually round-trip through these functions, but again that was an accident.

If you'd like to propose a doc clarification that would be fine, but the clarification would be that behavior on strings containing non-ascii is undefined.

Note that these functions are considered soft-deprecated...they are in modules that are in the "Legacy API" section of the email docs.
