I had the same problem when I tried to work on the man-pages from a Windows laptop (using the WSL2). My solution was the easy way out: wipe Windows and install Linux. If that's not a possibility, I'd try installing drivers for a filesystem that is case sensitive, and have a separate partition with that filesystem. I don't know, but I guess it's possible, and easy. For more help, I'd ask on <https://unix.stackexchange.com/>. BTW, I didn't know OSX used a case insensitive filesystem.
