NTFS was designed back in the mid 90s, when the plan was to have a single kernel with different subsystems on top of it, some of those layers (e.g. POSIX) needed case sensitivity while others didn’t.
It only looks odd because the sole remaining subsystem in use (Win32) barely makes use of any of the kernel features, like they’re only just now enabling long file paths.
Such a microsoft thing to do.
