This and this for instance — definitely severe issues that definitely need to be fixed.

See above. Huge shortcomings with “sparse” files (an issue I experienced and reported in detail two years ago) and with NTFS-compressed files (I didn't experience this one first-hand but it would be consistent with what I observed, and I sure don't want to see the result of such a mess).

		Modern HDDs shouldn't need that unless you are running a FAT file system.  Running every day is probably putting unnecessary strain on your drive.

One thing that is quite common and that can dramatically increase fragmentation, thus significantly reduce performance, is downloading large files simultaneously. I use a program which allows to download videos from various catch-up TV services, I used to download several such videos simultaneously, until I discovered that it was causing a massive fragmentation, even with a large amount of free space (each file having thousands of fragments — that would be prevented if the program could download one file at a time and queue the others, or pre-allocate the required space, but it currently allows neither), and had a lot of trouble recovering such files after a HDD failure (read the whole story here).
