Yes, this was mentioned at the ConTeXt meeting last spring. It's a
bit frustrating, sure, but ...
Interestingly enough, this other luatex is to be parsed Lua / t / eX
because the last two letters stand for Excel. And the normative
spelling is LuateX with an uppercase X :-)

Not that I know of. I don't think there would be any benefit to it,
though. Recall that the name TEX itself---all uppercase---was a
trademark since a couple of years by the time TeX was created. Who
remembers this typesetting system by the Honeywell company today?
