Yes, because it is strictly defined in our standard.

No, it is defined by our standard so it has to be default.

No, it is supposed that strcoll() will reflect locale-specific
string sorting and not that it will ignore case. If you want,    
create new interface strcasecoll() or similar, but please do
not break existing interface and existing functionality. If you
think about sort: Old GNU sort in FreeBSD worked fine, current
GNU sort works even better. If NetBSD sort is broken, I really
could not understand, why we could not just update GNU sort to
have working sort and instead we have to have broken sort and
even broken localization in FreeBSD :-(

So once again: Please back it out and do not break our localization.
