If the snatch is one of the two staple moves, then why is it only done once a week but the swing twice?
This explained in the book. In brief, more snatching would be too much overhead work given the focus on the press.
Anyhow, what does the snatch give you that you can't get in swings and presses anyhow?
You need to do a kettlebell snatch program to appreciate the differences. Many of the people following
@aciampa's A + A programs will tell you it's quite different and they feel it's much more beneficial as a single exercise than the swing. I agree - if you are only doing one exercise and choosing between the swing and the snatch, and you're not doing any other exercise, the snatch would be my choice over the swing.
The clean: Enter the Kettlebell is not impressed (pardon the pun) with it as a real exercise - it's just a set up move for the press. So, I can see why this move would get dispensed with as we move over to the S&S book.
The double kettlebell clean makes a fine conditioning exercise. The single kettlebell clean isn't in S&S because the press isn't, but the clean isn't "dispensed with," just not what we've chosen to do here, much like the snatch isn't what we've chosen to do here.
The press: Awesome exercise, but entirely covered and more by the Turkish Get Up.
No - both are a way to put a kettlebell overhead but one is a press while the other is a supporting movement done with the arm straight most of the time.
It's amusing to see the "beginner moves" in Enter the Kettlebell jump ahead to become the Tsars of moves in the S&S book.

FAQ: Comparing Kettlebell: Simple & Sinister and the ETK Program Minimum and ROP
You'll find it in the Kettlebell section of the forum, as one of the listings in the Sticky of Stickies post. It addresses this point directly.
@Kozushi, as you see, I resist your attempt to categorize one program or the other as better - they are different, one can easily enough do one, then the other, and even both at the same time as others have observed.
