Easy, anyone advocating not narrowing the field with premium pairs, does not realize they aren't setting trap, but giving others odds to call. There are 1755 known flops, at least 50% are not favorable to premium pairs when multiway.
When you try and trap here, you are losing money in the long run, with that 50% against you. 3bet and 4bet, you can reduce the calling range (unless you have whale), improving your odds with the 50% of flops that do not suit your range.
(Actually, the number of flops that don't favor the raiser is approximately 66%, but unless they are calling with 66 in a 4bet pot, which happens occasionally, your odds improve by knocking out your opponents pre).
