Its likely done for board coverage, because the charts are trying to lay out a 100% perfect GTO strategy. There is actually a recent thread with a hand from Venetian, which illustrate, why this can matter. The board ran out A-2-3-4-5 in a 3-bet pot, and the opponent overbet jammed the river. If Hero is never 3-betting with a 6 in his hand, he cant defend against this play, because then Hero only have hands, that play the board. The Villain is literally freerolling, because the worst outcome for him is, that Hero call, and they chop. This is an extreme example, but its good for illustrating the point.
