I have a collection of files from the late ´90s and early ´00s. Many of them are .JPG, .MP3, .WAV, instead of .jpg, .mp3, and .wav. Why was that the norm at the time? I usually just change the extension myself.

Also not defending Gates, but realistically it wouldn’t have made any sense for him or anyone at Microsoft to say such a thing. The 640K barrier was not chosen by Microsoft or caused by DOS, it was a limitation of the 8088/8086 CPU that IBM used in the original PC.
It wasn’t until the 80286 that the issue was partially solved, and then the 80386 and on where it was completely solved (though still required a lot of fiddling and manual configuration which was the fault of DOS’ design).
