I actually don't quite have a good grasp of the interplay of sections and page
styles in LO, considering that sections can start in the middle of a page and
can be nested.

As for chapters - that was your second question.

Different margins = different page style.

Basically, you're just describing why custom page styles are important and
necessary.

No, you couldn't. That's the style for the first page in a sequence of
Default-Page-Style documents. Its other uses in your document would be messed
up.

"If I want XYZ" - Define your own custom style to do more specific things which
you want. When you start with a common use case and keep adding specificity, it
becomes a not-common-enough use case.

1. Again, you're suggesting a different and contradictory use for "Right Page".
If you actually want that - open a bug about it.
2. No, it really couldn't, because what you described is not the style of
"Right Page"'s, whatever that means.
