First of all, Java (like C and Unix) is case-sensitive, not case-
insensitive.  Ada is case-insensitive.  You have the two backwards.

Second, Ada (starting with Ada 2005) does allow ISO 10646 (Unicode)
characters in its identifiers, and it defines how it handles its case
insensitivity for identifiers, which I think involves the "Uppercase
Mapping" defined by ISO 10646:2003.  So case folding does make sense
for programming languages that allow Unicode characters in
identifiers, including Ada.
