Because 2...Bc5 is bad as 3 d4 wins a tempo.
I think we've invented theory , what do you think ?

Then why is 3.d4 never played according to chess.com's explorer database ?!

The games with 2...Bc5 are probably between weak players.
Also those aren’t all the games played, those are just the games in that database.
According to the database 3.Qe2 3.d3 and 3.c4 have been played in that position but not 3.d4 , why is that ?

What if theory invented us? If it did, do you wonder if theory ever sits around posting questions on their Theory.com website?
Also , why does no-one play 2.Bc5 3.d4 in the Knight Variation of the French Defence after 1. e4 e6 2. Nf3 ?
