Andreas.
Notion resp. implementation of case-folding is unclear outside ASCII and related.
There must not be anything to be folded in a buffer. Folding is a notion which makes sense in special cases only - which are common in ASCII world, but not a reason for a default.
New users should not be bothered with this vast area. GNU Linux is case-sensitive and Emacs should start by default like that.
While specific language modes, like SQL, might or should change that.
