Why is it hard for a car to start when the engine is cold?
It is not so much hard for a car to start when the engine is cold as it is easier for a car to start when the engine is warm.Cars that are hard to start in the cold are usually not new cars any more and because of wear and tear there is more likely to be something that doesnt work as well. when fuel is warm it ignites more easily.
What is an engine cold start?
It's when you start the engine when it is either really cold out, or the car has been sitting in a temperature region for a while where it has not been run and exposed to cold conditions. This is where more than 50% of engine wear comes from, the cold start because the oil has thickened and therefore does not pump through to the most crucial parts of the engine as fast. best advice is to use the manufacturer recommend oil viscosity (ex: 5w30 or 5w20) thicker oil does not help. And the use of synthetic and synthetic blend oils does help to reduce engine wear at a cold start.

Does it matter how many cold cranking amps a car battery has?
Yes, that is how you know that the battery is "strong" enough to start your car in cold weather. A battery in warm weather may have enough amps to start the car fine, but in cold weather, it wouldn't be able to crank it fast enough. A car battery efficiency drops off the colder it gets.
