Don't forget about internationalization. Not all language have uppercase and lowercase characters [0], and tbh I'm not sure what effect (if any) caps lock has for these. And rules for converting case can sometimes be tricky.

But it’s not core functionality, it’s just a convenience.

Making it more convenient for everybody equally is an admirable goal, but should a trivial change that makes life a bit easier for many people be scrapped just because making it easier for everyone else is difficult? Specifically here where the experience doesn’t significantly regress for anyone.

I never said it should be scrapped... just that it needs to be considered and tested.
