Why do many fonts make the uppercase "i" and the lowercase "L" look pretty much the same?

The alternative is worse, it looks out of place when you turn a sans serif font into a serif font for one letter only

l don't consider the two Iines in the uppercase "i" to be a serif any more than the upper part of the Ietter "T" is. The letter "i" shoIld have it Iike that naturaIIy. With that Iogic, the Ietter "H" shouId Iook Iike "-" in sans serif fonts.

Because printed uppercase 'I' without serifs looks pretty much the same as printed lowercase 'l'.
Duh.
