Instant Text does not allow case-sensitive short forms and why would you need them at all? Remember that Instant Text allows you to have the same short form for two expansions. So nothing prevents having
av audiovisual
av arterioventricular

Now count your keystrokes. If you want "audiovisual" you type "av;". On the other hand, if you want "arterioventricular" you type "av Shift;"

The Shift here is to move to the second entry. If IT allowed case-sensitive short forms, you would have to type Caps lock twice or Shift twice. Hence you even save one keystroke.
