I'm not sure where you're arguing that
a) xrefs never need to be compared
b) they are sometimes, but it's ok to use equal and fail in case-preserving and case-insensitive systems

We're here discussing a real one: a test that needs an ad hoc fix because it couldn't just compare two xrefs. Or do you think that writing tests isn't a real-life example?
I'm a bit surprised to be discussing that the basic type offered by an infrastructure library as xref needs ways to be compared...
