Agreed.

It can avoid calling expand-file-name only to call file-name-directory
(or file-name-nondirectory) right after.

Can we reduce the number of arguments?

Please specify more precisely how MATCH is used (whether it's compared
to the "leaf" only, or the full absolute file name, or ...).

This is not a "path", it's a file name.  Remember: by convention
a "path" is a list of directories, as in load-path, $PATH, etc...
