PNQ: Why does Microsoft Word autocapitalize Greek letters?

I mean, in English versions of Word we generally use Greek letters as mathematical variables only, so we want them to be lower-case. Furthermore, the lower-case and upper-case versions of a Greek letter often mean different things.
It gets worse when you consider that I'm inserting the letter from the Symbols menu. That is, I'm treating it as a symbol, not a lower-case letter that needs to be automatically capitalized.
