They are typographically the right thing to have been using all along.

Using ' and " to pretend to be ‘/’ or “/” is on par with the typewriter days where people would use the l key to stand in for 1 also. A justifiable approximation when technology limitations prevented using the real deal, but an approximation all the same.
