Comment:

 This seems like the expected behavior. It's very common
 [https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AWordPress%2Fwordpress-
 develop%208217&type=code in the WordPress source].

 I'd reference the behavior of
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wptexturize/
 wptexturize] which will apply this type of transformation, suggesting it's
 desirable:

 > Replaces common plain text characters with formatted entities.
 >
 > …
 >
 > As an example,
 >
 >     'cause today's effort makes it worth tomorrow's "holiday" ...
 >
 > Becomes:
 >
 >     ’cause today’s effort makes it worth tomorrow’s
 “holiday” …
