Ah, so there has been a discussion on this? Do you remember when?

So it seems there is some agreement that like should be case sensitive.
At the same time I have this nagging feeling that it's not case
insensitive because various used asked for it that way, but I can't
find the relevant discussion.

What worries me the most is that if we flip the behavior we might
break someone application irreparably. People using GeoTools can
use FilterFactory2 and exert control over the case sensitivity
flag, but in CQL and OGC Filter 1.1 there is no way to state a
case sensivity flag...
