To be fair, it would be really cool if people started calling every country by how it’s called domestically.

“Translations” don’t exist for people’s names when they travel, a João doesn’t become a John just because they’re visiting an English country because it sounds condescending or disrespectful. Same logic should be applied to country names. Not only Türkiye, but also Россия; Brasil; 日本; Magyarország; España; ایران; Ελλάδα; Suid-Afrika or iNingizimu Afrika; etc
