You jest, but honestly I think this does make sense. It seems rather obvious to me in hindsight that the character on screen should match the key pressed, and to get a different character should require an activator such as shift or caps lock.
One of those, “If I wasn’t already used to it being the way it is, would I find doing it this way to be better?”
You could always get a keyboard like this. It’s a large LCD screen with transparent keys on top, so you can program each key to display whatever you want- keys change between lower and upper case when you press shift, for example, or have the font displayed on each key be whatever you want.
I was sooo close to purchasing one of those (Optimus Maximus), but realized that it would be too dependent on software from a minor actor, so I decided to wait a few years until the functionality got standard on all keyboards.
I feels like, while it makes sense, but the “sense” here is sorta nonsense, the way they write the header sorta assume people is incapable of learning and adjust. Even my nephew/niece learn it without issue.

But its not in the font I’m typing in. What bullshit.

I’m pretty sure letters are capital by default because capitals are easier to read
I’ll hold by breath for them to switch the default keyboard to Dvorak

Now that I think about it, given that lower case is the default option for typing, it would make more sense for the letters to be lower case.
