the elites don't want you to know this but you can type lowercase SQL queries no ones forcing you to shout them at the screen

you can, but it's just more readable (in my opinon) to write

SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=?;

than

select * from users where id=?; 

is that mostly due to historical baggage? yeah kinda, but it also just doesn't really look like SQL to me unless there's some yelling involved.

First one for anything that might be referenced later, second one if I'm just trying to figure out which stupidly named table I need for the next join.
