Nomination process for Alberta is now going to take 8 months as per the website

So many people will fall out of H1B status by 8 months, better apply for FSW.
Yes, obvoiusly because less number of applicants for FSW now.
It is hard to qualify for FSW now especially from IT. Only mangerial level is eligible. Almost the same way as it is hard to get H1B approval for an IT consultant.
