I would like to know more about both. As if it pays to optimize the games and / or the operating system?

Depends. What does it mean when you say "optimize games and OS"? If you have powerful enough hardware then it's not worth the trouble to gain few more fps. For low end hardware Win10 game mode does help in stabilizing min fps upto an extent. Also disable the AV while playing (don't forget re enabling it though
It still helps to disable the Av completely on a low end pc, than putting it on game mode.

I Have i7 4770k + GTX 1060 6GB + 16GB DDR3
Game mode merely means, that AV will not display any notifications, it still works as usually.
Didn't watch the video, but disabling pagefile on Windows can actually help WHEN you got enough RAM and you're using HDD, since RAM will be faster than a HDD.
Pagefile is a relic from days of XP and before, no longer needed. I disable it for years on any PC with at least 4GB, if it is just for browsing and basic tasks. I never had any problem, except when Deus Ex required 12GB and was crashing, since I had only 8GB, so I bought another 8GB.
I do not care much about myths ot myth busters, I prefer to test everything myself and disabling it helps a lot, not to mention an increased security.
Disabling pagefile can cause problems when running memory-intensive software, such as photo/video editing programs or virtual machines. Some programs may even refuse to run.
YUP, that's when you don't have enough physical ram, and if you look carefully you'll see that put WHEN in upper case.

It is sometimes worth it to optimize games but I don't really recommend doing it as such from YouTube since sometimes one thing leads to the other and you're left with a broken PC. Gaming booster are still cool, using something like razer game booster or any other would still give you stability to be honest.
While Razer Cortex is a really good tool, it kind of messed up my mouse movements for Valve games by making it a lot "smoother"
