I'd assume this isn't allowed due to well, technical limitations related to the database.

Whilst yes, it's not really an excuse anymore since it's technically possible, they're typically disabled with a reason.

I like your last sentence. :D
They (EA) just can´t explain it with "individuality of nicknames" when Steam does allow players to use special characters in their nicks.
Senseless...

  To be fair, a bit ago Steam saw a big exploit regarding names, so it technically works against them too.
  Also do note that Steam also has more of a social side to it, including a community space that hosts discussions but also workshop content.
  EA pretty much has these forums and just the friends list as far I'm aware, so I wouldn't see a need for them to have more characters to allow more individualisation.
