That's true. Floppies aren't really used anymore however space will matter
for a while, e.g. now a commom limit is around 50 MB (USB stick, mini
disk, etc) and people want to utilize it as efficiently as possible.

Yes, only one case-sensitive. But there could be more case-insensitives.
Which one is the right? Could its real location be somewhere else? Well,
these last two questions are basically the same.
Might pagefile.sys has data used between reboots, as sometimes Linux swap?
Investigating the issue would take too much time and IMHO there are more
important things to do.
Of course this doesn't mean if one is interested in the answers is
disallowed to research and investigate the issue. Actually I would be
quite happy if one would have the time do it.
