I think it’s primarily younger people who learned to type by having a computer or tablet in the house without the need for formal typing lessons. And then at the other end of the spectrum we have people old enough that they didn’t really use computers in their youth and are learning the technology the same way the kids are. I think typing with capitalisation is most common in people who attended computer classes as part of their grade school education. I think the farther we go past the advent of the home computer, the more people will be typing lowercase in casual chats. I don’t have any hard data to back this up, just a collection of anecdotal observations.
