the SQL ISO defines exactly this behaviour (as you note),
so this is be expected

suggestion : instead of CamelCase use seperate_lower_case_by_underscore

You don't like this notation, maybe this can help.
It is suggested that is more relaxing for the brain, our brain tends to
focus on the Capitals first.
Reasoning: So scanning a literal like dogFeedFood first goes the F of
Feed and Food and only then goes back to dog.

Changing habits can be hard, unfortunately.
