If you remove that else, every time the "[SM] You set your new phrase..." msg displays the next one "[SM] The phrase you entered is the same..." will be displayed either. So you shouldn't use this "clean way".

To answer your first question, I had it set up that way so that the plugin would only save your phrase if it’s different from the one currently stored. With your proposed code, you’d be displaying the second message even if a player sets a completely different phrase. That’s why it’s inside an else block.

As for your second question, KV.ExportToFile() is needed if you want to overwrite the current data stored on the KV file with the new data you set in the plugin. The documentation for the function is as follows:

Exports a KeyValues tree to a file. The tree is dumped from the current position.
