It was a German that invented binary, so my suggestion is to devolve all
future decisions to the Germans.
Binary coding is not affected by changes in case so this argument is bogus.

You are nearly always a minority opinion, the irony of you writing this
whilst at the same time asking the world to slow down so that your
stubborn fourteen year old framework can catch up beggars belief.
I am not asking the world to slow down because I am too lazy to change. I am
arguing that case insensitive software has been around for many decades, and
for some people to advocate for its removal just because they don't have the
brain power to come up with a proper solution for a minor glitch that
affects only a small number of languages I find unacceptable. A competent
programmer would fix the problem that affects the few without removing a
feature that the many are used to.
