I think you meant `M-c', but the same reasoning holds for `M-u'.

That's a reason, but it's not necessarily a strong reason. Interactively, you
can as easily do `M-c M-f M-c' to skip over the "s" in "it's".

However, using `capitalize-region', `upcase-region', etc. is another story.
There, your argument is stronger. Still, I personally wonder if it's worth it.
Dunno - I don't know much about how people use text-mode.
