I am thinking that you don't realize this is done when TWO square pieces are going to be sewn together. When you cut the center line, you get two triangles with no bias to deal with. I got the feeling from your note that you may have been asking why you have to do this on a single square. Never heard those directions for cutting one single square, only sets. If I am wrong, I apologize.
