Maybe because that's the most common usage of capitals but concider the term "all caps"
Yeah, but I figured "all caps" was just a misnomer. "Capital" usually refers to something being the biggest or most important in a group of things.
Capital letters are the group of the biggest letters. Not necessarily within a word but in a set theory sense.
