Dunno about rhyme, but somewhere in space-time there is a comment to
the effect that use of the usual prefix capitalized reduces the number
of completions you have to deal with.  Thus commands that are bound to
a key sequence and unlikely to be used with M-x have the prefix
capitalized.

Whether this consideration is still relevant I have no opinion, except
that the only Info command I use with M-x is Info-goto-node (which is
quite useful as an @ref in code, too).  But there was a reason at one
time.
