If you want to write Chinese text on a computer - you still have to use Latin alphabet, because it's not possible to put thousands of characters on a keyboard.

So a different writing system for Chinese has already been developed.

Some other languages also have more than one writing system. (Serbian and Azeri).

When mobile phones became accessible to the general public then many people used Latin alphabet to write in Russian, because SMS didn't support Cyrillic properly.

Vietnamese also didn't use Latin originally.
