Reasonable and sane behavior of cd. Just get into the habit of always using lower case names for files and directories, that's how our forefathers did it.

Yes, but this is the default on many distros, so for once the end user is not to blame

Even worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.

Why not just cd $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in the first place?

That's not an environment variable. It's defined in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/user-dirs.dirs.

Though you can use the xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD command to get it automatically.
