History. Backwards compatibility.
In particular, it often allows (badly written) code ported from win32  
or OSX systems onto *nix systems to compile without choking, as many  
programmers on those systems are so used to having a case-insensitive  
file system that they are "haphazard" with the case of their include  
paths...
