If websites were case-sensitive, PenIsland.com and PenisLand.com could 
essentially be two different domain name purchases and each company 
wouldn't mind that the other existed. The fact that it is 
case-insensitive actually lowers the amount of sales places like 
GoDaddy.com make.

The case for case-sensitivity is a strong one, I must admit. On the 
other hand, it makes browsing somewhat more cumbersome for the people 
who can't be bothered to press the shift key which seems to be the 
majority of people nowadays. They already have enough difficulty 
spelling correctly, imagine the war we would start if we complained 
about their grammar and punctuation as well!
