I'm a mechanical engineer, and ASME Y14.5 (the leading drafting standard in the west) requires the use of all capitol letters for technical drawings. Because of this, I use the CapsLock key very very frequently.

Removing the CapsLock key would piss off a lot of people in the hardware engineering world.

If lowercase letters aren’t permitted at all, then surely your technical drawing app would just shift everything to uppercase automatically (or at least provide an option to do so)?
