easier to do (the cleaning step) and less crap winds up going through the motor afterwards?

Yes remove it. Easier to get it spotless and less contaminants make it down into the intake manifold.

besides the engine does NOT want the crap down its intake..

and

the engine will be hard to restart.. as the cleaner/crap does not like to burn...
