The bug
Advancement descriptions use title-case for generic material names unnecessarily, since they are in the middle of a sentence. For things like mobs or structures, since they refer to unique, game-specific elements, it's more than ok to use capital letters — for example, "Enter a Bastion Remnant". But using capitalization on generic, unspecific materials is a bit unusual, since there's nothing special about them.

@unknown: That would not be a good idea. It might work in english, but a lot of languages require changes to the names depending on context.
These were partially done in 18w20b, along with a few other changes, per burger. All of the capitalization required ones were done, Ender Eye was corrected, and a few other things (spacing/periods) were handled; also MC-117906 was fixed. Enchanting Table was not changed, but that is the new canon name per the flattening. However the ones that were capitalized were not uncapitalized. I'm not sure whether I should mark this as fixed as such, since the first category hasn't happened.
At some point this has been fixed for:
Find elytra
Form and mine a block of obsidian
Also affects:
Use a Netherite ingot to upgrade a hoe, and then reevaluate your life choices
@@unknown, that is covered by MC-187546.
Maybe as a side note to "Game element's names": Since 17w17b default advancements use translations, therefor the respective item / entity name could be inserted instead of having it in the translation as well.
