Yes the default hfs+ setup on a Mac is case-insensitive but it isn't always the case.

If any code assumes that all Mac fs are case insensitive then it will break for those who choose to turn on the case-sensitive feature of hfs+ or for example where the files are mounted from a server with a protocol which is, such as smb or nfs.
