There are only a limited number of things that can be used in field 15 of a flightplan to indicate a turning point. Besides coordinates, you can use radio aid identifiers and significant points (as published in AIP ENR 4.x). That's it. "Friendly" names of VRPs or towns may absolutely not be used in an ICAO flightplan, so we convert these to coordinates. Even ICAO identifiers of airfields may not be used.
You're free to modify a SkyDemon-generated flightplan to add the friendly names back for a country which allows them to be used, before filing it. Since SkyDemon is an international tool filing ICAO-compliant flightplans (which are machine-readable) we cannot do this by default.
