Isn't it?
I am still unclear if that uses only the kernel or filesystem case sensitivity
flags or also takes into account the WSL directory case sensitivity?

Comment from emacs source:
Use pathconf with _PC_CASE_INSENSITIVE or _PC_CASE_SENSITIVE if
those flags are available. As of this writing (2019-09-15),
Cygwin is the only platform known to support the former (starting
with Cygwin-2.6.1), and macOS is the only platform known to
support the latter. */
