Since when?  Just because there is a macro that emits a particular
character does not mean that one should always use the macro rather
than the character.  .Pq/Po/Pc are there for when you need parsed
arguments (e.g., ".Pq Li FOO"), not for insertion into text at
random.  There's a reason why mdoc(7) goes to the lengths it does to
recognize punctuation.
