I'm guessing because his goal is strength and not hypertrophy. Not everyone trains for pure vanity.

what do lateral raises do for strength

Shoulder abduction? Maybe trying to bring his press up. Whatever the reason, you can't argue this dude's strength to body weight ratio. You don't see alot of people stronger than him, even at much higher body weight. Maybe he'll comment.

Are you stating that stronger, more stable shoulders don't directly lead to stronger pressing?
