No problem that's gardening everybody does things there own way and what works best for them.

When you sow a seed, the makings of the two ‘seed leaves are already in the seed. 

It’s not until it produces some ‘proper leaves’ that you know it is establishing a good root system so it can feed the new plant.

 It’s at that stage that the seedling needs pricking out and planting in a compost containing nutrients for the roots to access.

The problem with moving them at the seed leaf stage, is that you can only handle the plant, by the seed leaves. If you damage them, the plant will die.
If you wait until it has true leaves, you can handle by the seed leaves and the plant will still survive if you damage them.
