What’s the use case for case insensitive file names?

Human comprehension.

Readme, readme, README, and ReadMe are not meaningfully different to the average user.

And for dorks like us - oh my god, tab completion, you know I mean Documents, just take the fucking d!

In case you or others reading this don't know: You can set bash's tab-completion to be case-insensitive by putting

set completion-ignore-case on

Into your .inputrc (or globally /etc/inputrc)

For some extra fun, try interop between two systems that treat this differently. Create a SMB share on a Linux host, create a folder named TEST from a Windows client, then make Test, tEst, teSt, tesT, and test. Put a few different files in each folder on the Linux side, then try to manage ANY of it from the Windows client
