We do not know if every defined namespace of Operator-Name is (or is going to be) case-insensitive. REALM definitely is (technically), but the implementation does not assume anything about the namespace.
The realm namespace is a DNS name, and should be case insensitive. Forcing lowercase is arguably wrong for DNS, but... I think it's OK here.
If the visited site cannot control what is sends in the Operator-Name then tough luck. CUI is of no value the the home site, so the only side affected by the problem is the side that causes the problem.
As I said, no harm can be expected from adding the lower case, but if it does not serve any purpose then why add it?
