Why use for lowercase?

Because English is stupid

It's not stupid. It's just the bastard child of Germany, Dutch, French, Celtic and Scandinavian and tries to pretend this mix of influences is cool and normal.

Victim blaming and ableism!

The French and Scandinavian bits were NOT consensual.

There are plenty of non Norman consensual French words and the Danes had as much a right to be there as the Angles and the Saxons did in kicking the celts out. Let's not even talk about if the anglo-Saxons had more legitimate claim than the norse-gaels.
