That is intentional. From ":help 'smartcase'":

Override the 'ignorecase' option if the search pattern contains upper
case characters. Only used when the search pattern is typed and
'ignorecase' option is on.

It seems like a pointless extra step to have to use both. It should really just be a single ternary setting, or setting smart case should set ignore case automatically.

The idea is that you can set 'smartcase' always, and then selectively set 'ignorecase' when desired.
Anyway, it has always worked like this, changing it now will not be appreciated by existing users.
