It has no problem rendering.

The problem is usage. The ' is used EVERYWHERE, it's practically unbottable to change just the relative ones it to ’. ’’’ does not make things bold like ''' (though that wouldn't be as much of a problem to bot back but still has practical concerns). All templates would have to be checked and double checked because one ’ instead of a ' breaks it. Also, we'd have to move entire comic volumes like World's Finest Vol 1, Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane Vol 1, etc. We still don't have a good PWB script to automate that.

And if we were to run a bot over all pages and  images, that'd take days (if not weeks) and would make Wikia very mad at us for putting a big load on their servers.

And all this is not taking into account the times the straight apostrophe is used as a prime (′) or hamzah (ʾ). The same goes for " and double primes and quotation marks.

This is not up to debate. ' is the practical standard. Changing it is simply not feasible.
