I don't actually know.
Maybe because the existence of case-insensitive filesystems cause the
existence of files with "weird" extensions like ".JPG" and it's easier
to just say "match case-insensitively" than to handle the known cases
where case is sometimes "messed up".
At least, that's the reason for the existence of auto-mode-case-fold.
