If an article, presentation, etc incorrectly all-caps the subject matter, like JAVA or SCALA, some may become skeptical of the content matter itself. sbt spelled all-caps, or whenever someone tries to backronym it to Scala Build System (what?), to me is a warning sign.

I have to say, I've never liked the use of fully-lowercase project names. They're proper nouns, so grammatically, they should start with a capital letter. Unfortunately, now it always looks like the author was too lazy to press the shift key, whether that's the intention or not…

I rewrite my sentences to avoid putting non-capitalised proper nouns at the start because my OCPD can't handle this

Yes, I found myself doing this, too. Presumably "sbt" at the start of a sentence should be "Sbt"?

I think that's a bit different because there is a capital letter there, just not the first one, so it's visually a bit less weird, but if still go with IPhone at the start of a sentence.

But in the entire Wikipedia article on iPhones, there's not a single sentence starting with "iPhone", which leads me to think that every sentence which would naturally have started with "IPhone" was reworded just to avoid this problem...

Wikipedia seems to be ok with sbt and iTunes, but I don't want to attract attention of the editors.
