It’s a low effort flex. As in: you’re unimportant, this is unimportant, and I’m very busy, so I can’t or won’t bother to capitalize. Which is ironic because it’s more effort to not capitalize.

it's many more keypresses, and using modifier keys is generally rsi-prone

Without commenting on this subthread (I don't have an opinion), you or anyone else with this concern should look into sticky modifiers (modifiers that apply to the next key press without being held). They were a game changer for me personally as far as managing RSI, as I had a bad habit of tilting my wrist to eg type a capital T.

I use thumb keys (Glove80) which helps but I need to give that a try too
