It was me suggesting this change. It was mainly intended for macOS application bundles. They are almost never lowercase and look quite weird if they are. Applications have been uppercase on the Mac ever since (since 1984). I am not a long time Windows user and do not know how Windows handled this in the past. But I have to use Windows on my work place and I only see uppercase program names there. On Windows I am only using software intended for the non-sophisticated end user. So this might be different for specialised software.
I don’t really care if others prefer lowercase hatari on Windows.
