I agree with Linus from a technical point of view but I think Apple had many considerations here. A number of games (and possibly other programs) on the App Store alone specifically mention that they will not work on Macs configured with case-sensitive file systems. My guess is that this aids programmers who may have ported something from Windows and not tested all possible file/path dependencies. This may also help users when copying files from Windows network disks or Mac legacy systems where (from their point of view) they expect things to work.
