No, that's not the case.
Only große is valid lowercase, but many people got so used to computers 
not dealing with ß correctly that they'd type grosse automatically.
Conversely, since there is no official capital form of ß (see my reply 
to Steven), GROSSE is standard uppercase although you might encounter 
GROßE occasionally.
