I mean I know what a chainring guard is for but did know why that was only covering a small portion. The vid Hothead286 posted cleared that up for me, thanks.

Easier or harder, depending on how good you are at spinning.

When installing double clips and straps, do you have to have two slots on your pedal to thread each strap in?

I've had these laminated leather straps for about 30 years now:
They actually have lasted longer than the pedals; the cage failed a couple years ago d/t erosion from my cleats, but the straps are still going strong:
