In initializing a new system, one can set up the system to be case-sensitive.

N.B.: It is not recommended to do this, at least for your system

Agreed. I did this several years ago - I forget which OS X version - and had multiple troubles whose origin was obscure until I noticed that an error message had an executable named in all caps but the same word was in /usr/bin except in lower case.

Unless someone with detailed knowledge of macOS as it is now says this isn't a problem any more (somehow), making the system case-insensitive is NOT recommended.
