I'm assuming you're being tongue-in-cheek, but this is a world that interests me deeply so I thought I'd offer a proper response.
There are four points to your argument: 1) OK is an initialism, 2) initialisms aren't allowed, and 3) the proper spelling of OK is all capitalized, and 4) capitalized words shouldn't be allowed. I'll address each one in turn.
Language is neither cut-and-dry, nor is it stagnant. The spelling, denotation, connotation, and pronunciation of words are never fixed and are always subject to any one person's understanding and interpretation.
