We already have: case-fold-search.

Why?
It is a slippery slope to have a separate case-sensitivity option for
each command or a couple of commands. If that is what you want, you
can always write your own one-line wrapper around each of these
commands, but I don't see any reason that Emacs should provide that
for everyone.
So I don't think we should provide such a defcustom for these two
commands.
