I’ve always hated case sensitivity. I know that at an ASCII level “variable” != “Variable” but is there really a reason to have a distinction between them?

You stated the reason yourself. Those are different values and matching in a case-insensitive manner is more work under the hood.

We do plenty of stuff for human consumption. Computers work for us, not the other way around. Insensitivity should be the default. It’s okay to give options. I’m not saying take that away.

Humans have to make it do the work. And that's how Mr; DROP TABLE makes his money.
