Ignoring the existence of big-endian computers is not really common sense. They DO exist. And it'd be very useful to test in both little and big-endian architectures. I cover the endianness tests by running my TravisCI pipelines on amd64 and s390x, but both run on Linux, which is sub-optimal. I should probably add AIX so that I'm not implying the OS is Linux and importing linuxisms into the code when it should be more portable than that.
