I sometimes hear the same in my circles about Persian ditching the perso-arabic script. I don't get it, why can't you align a country however you like without creating a huge rift between a big population and years of literature, material etc etc? One can learn multiple scripts and almost all literate people know the latin script globally nowadays. Besides, sad to see the whole world just use the latin script in the end but that's not the point

Sharing a writing system helps with communication across cultures, even when there isn't a shared language.

If almost all literate people know the latin script, there's a benefit to writing your language in it. Of course, the switching cost is high.
