That hasn't always been the case, tho: they started as basically ASCII,
and then switched to some iso-2022 system (in Emacs-20) before getting
to the current unicode (in Emacs-23).
I must admit that it seems highly unlikely it will change in the
foreseeable future, but it's always a possibility (Unicode has its
shortcomings, so it's possible that we'll be using something else next
century).
