Great post and great blog. I’m thinking through a similar project at my home and seeing your approach was helpful.

Thank you, glad you found it useful :)

May I ask why two cables per room?

There is room in the conduit, and pulling two is just as easy as pulling one. So it just makes sense to pull two I think — for future-proofing.

Ah, ok, it is just an over-provision "just in case", I thought there was some peculiar intended setup that required two cables.

Yes :) They could be bonded for redundancy or increased bandwidth, or used for different VLANs.
