But why? What is the point?

That you can give 2 different files the same name? Because that would confuse the hell out of every regular user. Especially if you work on a network share and have an entire directory full of same named files because everyone and their grandma throws their files in there.

It is almost as bad as Case Sensitive Usernames and email.
