Indeed.  This is a semireligious issue in that neither side will ever
come to a consensus, even if neither side can articulate their reasons
for their beliefs.  As such, Python is now a case sensitive language and
thus it makes very little sense to try to change that (which we've heard
from even those that would prefer case insensitivity).
