Case sensitive OSes like Linux don’t mix well with case insensitive file systems.
Take files under /boot/EFI (FAT). Packaging systems fall down on such — two RPMs can have different cases of the same filename and the package manager won’t know. They’ll just subtly overwrite each others file depending on installation/upgrade order.
(And why should the package manager have to care about the case sensitivity of the underlying file system for each managed file?)
