Uh, then break the bubble? What argument is this? The bubble serves the text, not the other way round! Bubbles are there to provide contrast for inset text against background first and foremost. (Then character association if spatially ambiguous, then maybe speaker mood.) Once that's served their job is over. Text isn't required to fit bubbles. And breaking typographic convention and punctuation rules (both existing for very good reasons!) is far more jarring than a hyphen that dares running over the bubble outline. The typesetter's first duty is towards readability, not to flex some amazing skills of how to crowbar a clump of letters into a shape that traces best along some contours that were never more than auxiliary in the first place. Its staggering I have to explain this to someone who's been doing this for years now. Some typesetter…
I guess we just have different perspective, then.

Industry standard doesn't give a shit what "perspective" you (or I) have. Typesetting follows rules because those rules have crystallized as beneficial and preferable, not (against stubborn misconception) to have something to beat others over the head with for beating's sake.
If you're to proud and bitchy to realize this isn't about you (or me), that's your fault, not mine.
