It was thus said that the Great John Ball via cctalk once stated:
My dad used to do that. At the time, I thought it was because AOL (where
he checked email) automatically upper cased all emails. A few years ago he
got a new computer, a Chromebook, and he immediately bitched that he
couldn't send out emails in all caps.
What?
Yup. He did it intentionally because, as he said, most of his friends
were hard of seeing, and by using ALL CAPS the letters were bigger and thus,
easier to read. But the new Chromebook removed the CAPSLOCK key.
The fact that most email clients [1] could use a larger font was lost on
him.

[1] Unless you are using a physical terminal or running a PC in text
mode only.

Ctrl-"+"?
Being an old hard-of-seeing guy myself, I much prefer mixed-case to
all-caps. All caps destroys the "shape" of words.

Where is the $%!@ codepage for the ASR-33. Get all caps with a REAL keyboard
and better text (with a new ribbon) than a tiny 24x80 console window on
1280 x 1024 screen.
