The same goes for case-sensitivity which, unfortunately, they see as a defect. It would be great for portability if APFS would stay case-insensitive like the Unix file systems, e.g. just a dumb layer that reads/writes bytes.

I think you mean case-aware, not case-sensitive. Just bytes like Unix leads to case-sensitive behavior.
