Because Unix is case-sensitive, and therefore there could be, even on
Windows, a file foo and a phony target FOO, which are not the same
(yes, I have real-life examples of this).
In other words, you might want case-sensitivity when you work on
packages ported from Unix.
As to stupid tools that munge letter-case, I have one simple advice:
don't use them.
