In so many free models, and in the Roblox Wiki, (NO DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON'T USE FREE MODELS) they all use Workspace.

^Legacy support. It was the old preferred method so they leave it since many scripts use it. At some point they might depreciate it though.

"In so many free models, and in the Roblox Wiki"

Because those wiki articles were originally written before it was deprecated. I shouldn't need to explain to you why asking why it's used in free models is a dumb question either.

I don't understand why they made it "workspace" when they could be more consistent with "Workspace".

Because they believe that standard environment variables should be lowercase, classes and class members should be uppercase.
