One thing that always puzzled me about PS is more cultural than technical, why on Earth would you use capitalised options? -Force rather than -f/--force, -Path rather than -p/--path. Is there some advantage that I just can't see?

That’s the convention but you can use aliases too as in this example https://stackoverflow.com/a/7264842
