Because there are two mutually exclusive assumptions:

1: You don't have an athletic background, so curls are of little utility in a beginner program
2: You have previous experinece in the weightroom, but it's 99% curls and bench

leading to

1: If they're going to add in curls or other isolation just because, he suggests other compounds later on. Concentrate on curls instead of compounds, stall, claim meme
2: Definitely going to curl no matter what you say. Likely to superset everything with curls

Honestly, the only time you really need to add curls is if you switch to a mixed grip DL and only then to strengthen the surrounding tissue. If you want to go wild and develop elbow tendonitis, and then lose all your gains, have at it
