What's with this silly "all lower case" style lately?

Is it some kind of "Prove you're not an AI by purposely writing like an idiot" or something?

it's been common in the unix/c/lisp worlds since before you were born

when 6 bit ascii was all caps only, people got used to monocase, then 7-bit lowercase ascii blew in a fresh wind.
