Well it strikes me that the PDF format itself is not exactly simple or pretty. It might be convenient that Python 2 allows you, in certain cases, to "ignore" encoding issues because the main text type is actually a bytestring, but under the Python 3 model there's no reason to allow the same shortcuts.
Also, when you say you've never encountered UTF-16 text in PDFs, it sounds like those people who've never encountered any non-ASCII data in their programs.
Regards
Antoine.
