I presume all apps do it because according to English grammar
function (grammatical) words in titles must be lower case
and content (lexical) words must be capitalized.

The same rule also states that the last function word in a title
must be capitalized.  That means that "to" in the following
menu items currently is grammatically incorrect:

./lisp/arc-mode.el:455:        '(menu-item "Rename to..." archive-rename-entry
./lisp/arc-mode.el:459:      ;;  '(menu-item "Copy to..." archive-copy))
./lisp/dired.el:1780:      '(menu-item "Hardlink to..." dired-do-hardlink
./lisp/dired.el:1783:      '(menu-item "Symlink to..." dired-do-symlink
./lisp/dired.el:1796:      '(menu-item "Rename to..." dired-do-rename
./lisp/dired.el:1799:      '(menu-item "Copy to..." dired-do-copy
