I didn't say they couldn't have big shoulders. Obviously they can. But, if someone wants to get bigger shoulders, that's not the fastest way to get there. Hypertrophy for strongmen is an effective side-effect.

With push presses, you're using leg drive to push right past the part where your shoulders and chest do most of the work.

Plus, hypertrophy will come on more effectively with higher reps than one would typically do with a push press.
