In this case at least the meaning didn't change, but unfortunately it
isn't always like that.

If text writing software automatically detects what kind of " to use,
it could be useful and if unwanted, we notice it and can disable it.
But I experienced that a MUA editor showed the wanted signes when
editing and while sending, it changed the signs. It was visible after
sending, not before sending. It wasn't just a typo, a user error. I did
not accidentally push Shift+Ctrl+U, some numbers and enter ;).
