My point was rather on capital letters $\Omega$, $\Delta$, $\Pi$, \Sigma$, etc. Maybe the latter is the one which attracts more attention when not italicized, because of the possible confusion with $\Sum$.
IIRC, this has always been the case with TeX; upper case Greek is
upright, the rest is italic. This is the default behaviour but you can
change it:
\setupmathematics [lcgreek=normal,ucgreek=normal]

There is also an alternative upper case calligraphic alphabet, available
as ss01 feature, though I don't know how to activate it.
