File systems are not user interfaces. They are interfaces between programs and storage. Case insensitive is much better for programs.

The user shell can choose however it wants to handle file names, a case sensitive file system does not prevent the shell from handling file names case insensitively.

Can’t edit my comment. I mean case sensitive is better for programs, of course.
