Not at all. I should have said 'TTC is almost unknown of except for CJK users'. So it will work for CJK-oriented apps, and behave strangely elsewhere.
It was the "behave strangely" bit that I disagreed. I think they behave flawlessly in most case, despite they are uncommon for non CJK fonts.
(The way some CJK fonts only export a CJK non-latin name is very disturbing to many apps too. Lots of fun for CSS rules too. CJK users do not see it because they only use an environment that targets CJK users with CJK defaults).
To my knowledge, this is not that common. The only oddities I know are SimSun/SimHei (the default Chinese fonts for Win9x,Win2x) which contain a non-Latin PS font name; but their TTF name table have names for both Chinese and English.
