They definitely fit better for this task than ´, which is not even a quote character, and isn't classified as punctuation.

That depends on each one's preferences. And ` is also not a quote character, it's a grave accent

Which is why we are trying to stop using it as a quote character.


Except that doing this throws the baby out with the bathwater. If some think it looks ugly, it is IMO better to make it look better, instead of stopping to use it. Because it's much easier to parse (as a pair) than double apostrophes. It's a historical accident that ASCII included paired {} () [] <>, but no paired quotation marks.
