The point being, there is a 1:1 correspondence between the two
representations of the same characters/code points. So your claim that
use of one is somehow a “mistake” while the other is not, is spurious.
If the data you are working on is provided in files containing UTF-8,
conversion to UTF-32 does not provide any benefits and is therefore an
unnecessary complication, and therefore a mistake.
Assuming it does not provide any benefits is the mistake.
