most of them, younger people even less, yes they will use "ã" and they will use
"ç" but probably they will never use "á" or "à" or "ô" or "ó", etc, unless they are taking a poortuguese test or something, and i doubt that they will type it in on the browsers bar.
im not saying these domains are trash, i guess they are brandables and if some big company wants one they could go for the "proper" version, i just think they
will not reach full value with the current typing habits and keyboard display.


Languages evolve, spelling evolves, and scripts evolve. If a thing falls out of common use for long enough, it will eventually be phased out.
