OT, but I'm now super conflicted about whether the correct quantifier for covers is "less" or "fewer". I think I agree with you that "less" is more correct, but my inner pedantry can't shake the feeling that it sounds weird.

I think it's because, while "covers" is countable, you have a sort of continuous control of how much cover you have.

Fewer countable things, less stuff.

Right, I think that the word "covers" just feels like a typical plural noun even though it isn't.
