A practical reason could be Caps Lock. When it’s on, Ctrl+X still
produces C-x, but the following letter key produces a capital
character. Having C-x X different from C-x x would introduce a modal
error where all bindings suddenly change depending on Caps Lock.
(This is another manifestation of the wrongness of binding sequences
of _characters_ rather than _keys_. But that’s what we are stuck with
because of backward compatibility with terminals and terminal
emulators.)
