I got the naming convention thing wrong -- see SamJohnsson's reply above. I knew going from memory could be dangerous. But there is a bias towards romanizing names which, personally, I am pretty ambivalent about, mostly for the reasons you state, but that I have seen some discussion/criticism of.
I think that your friend is right, too, that there just hasn't been a critical mass of users moving to AO3. There are probably a bunch of reasons for that, most of which have nothing to do with things that AO3 has or hasn't done, but I'd like to think that AO3 will win them over eventually.
