That's an artifact of the years past, still alive because everyone is too afraid to do something about it, and most lawyers just don't care about styling.
Every time I copy a license to the project, I edit the formatting to use Markdown bold (or sometimes italic/emphasis) instead of ALL THAT UPPERCASE SCREAMING. Much easier for the eyes.
IANAL, but I believe that was the intent. Just to highlight the important sections to be even safer with "you have been warned about this and can't say you haven't noticed it". If any lawyer out there knows if this is correct understanding or not - would be interesting to hear.
