Apologies if I’m wrong on that, drove my car to work today/don’t have bike in front of me to look at right now.

It's shielded in sense that oil can't get flung outwards to coat your calf and engine. But it's still being flung away from chain and gets caught on inside of sprocket guard. Over time it builds up to many, many gallons stuck to inside surface. Eventually it builds up enough to actually touch chain and gets scraped down and out by moving chain.
Remove sprocket guard and clean out insides.
