He is actually a helicopter pilot, having done his PC's for the past 7 years or so ( he is actually a very good handling pilot, including a successful landing with a stuffed tail rotor in an Enstrom and an engine failure in a Hu 369) He is a single engine pilot so is asking why one has to climb quite so high when in a single you wouldn't. I suppose I can understand what he is saying, but he may have a hypothetical point are the manufacturers concentrating too much on engine failures rather than the plethora of other problems.
