Actually I have come across a couple of editors/reviewers requiring that
style (all languages all-caps)---but I don't think this is the cause of
the current mispellings. (It was some time ago now, perhaps for single
font, no italics, no bold, typewritten documents, perhaps University
theses, applications for grants, can't remember exactly---but I remember
the requirement well, you can imagine why...)

And I think there are books out there today with the wrong spelling.

The capitalization of Ada and Java is clear, but there _are_ fuzzy
cases: ForTran, ProLog :-)
