exactly the same as on MTB wheels (that's why you have TorqueCaps in RockShox forks), higher clamping force increases torsional stiffness (generally - just any/all stiffness, I'm not a physicist and English is not my primary language, so can't explain that well)
as 2 surfaces - hub end cap surface and frame surface will stick more - creating stiffer interface
in case of a city bike, probably it doesn't matter...
Yep. I don't have to believe in your "even weakest QR will do" theory
