Having written many many thousands of SQL queries, and having begun thinking that lower-casing keywords was better, I can tell you this is completely false.

You absolutely cannot rely on using your application of choice for editing queries: formatting them aggressively and allowing transmittable demarcations of query structure (like case) makes for the most portable, universally readable queries.

Given how many different systems we use these days to develop a single application, upper-casing is more necessary than ever in the 2020s.
