--- Comment #1 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> ---
See: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2649

Most of the documentation was not updated when case sensitive was
made to be the default.

There used to be examples were, for example, something like
freebsd-ftp (port package) and FreeBSD-ftp (base package)
both existed. When such cases happen, case insensitive as a
default was problematical. Guaranteed uniqueness became the
default.
