It means that approximately half of the world knows the difference between
lower case and upper case letters and knows how to use this means and
might also know that this development of the last 2,000 years is sensible.

which only increases your changes of running into things others do not
see. I might well agree with you, case sensitive filesystems make more
sense, but they aren't and never have been, standard in OSX and using them
has been known to cause issues in the past. Your choice in the end.
I am using an optional feature of HFS (not OSX or macOS), If this usage
makes problems than obviously the software having them is not made for the
real world of Macs in use but for some programmer's PC. Where it should
have stayed better.
