Why?

 
Because they're so insensitive. :)
 
Personally I like the fact that File.txt, file.txt and file.TXT are all
different files. It's useful for backing up files.

It's been a while but iirc you can have File.txt and file.txt in the same
Windows directory through a unfortunate chain of events and it's a PITA to
straighten the mess out.
