I don't really see the logic behind it though, why wouldn't blizzard allow capitalization in passwords?

If you don't do anything insecure to allow a keylogger on your machine, and don't share your password with anyone, whether your password is case-sensitive or not isn't relevant. People getting accounts taken because their passwords suck aren't using even what you can do without case sensitivity, and the ones who lose accounts with special characters in the password are losing it to a keylogger or account sharing, and case sensitivity won't help you if you give your password to a 'friend' or a keylogger reads it while you type it.
It still comes down to your own security practices with your machine and your password/account name. Don't share, don't click on stuff you shouldn't. Keep virus protection up, and be smart. If you can't do those things, no amount of password security on Blizzard's part will help you. If you do your part, they'll do theirs. (or at least they have so far)
