On Windows filenames are case insensitive at least usually, some people are used to that. But that is poor design for so many reasons, Turkish I being one of them.

Now take Android. Files are case-sensitive yet you can't create 2 files with same name if they only vary in case.

TIL, thanks. I wonder why they chose to do it this way.

They cater to windows users that are used to the quirks of their broken system.

One of the most pointlessly annoying things I've had to deal with was trying to move a process made for Linux onto a Windows MINGW/cygwin-type environment where one of the scripts would generate ".filename" AND ".FileName" files. :|
