Why doesn't the style picker of vst have this option?

style picker of vst can’t see the option "play using current chordsheet for song"
Only load song demo. Why? I hope so.
In addition, in some video demonstrations, I saw two options appear when someone clicked load song demo. Why didn’t I click on it? Why?
I'm talking about the style picker page of VST.

On the VST style picker page just double click on the selected style and it will load and play the current chord chart.

Oh wait, I bet you want to audition the new style with the current chord chart before loading it.... ya the BIAB-VST seems to not offer that option which is in BIAB. I swear it used to be there at one time. Let me look into this...

Because it uses bbw4 in the background that is not set up to generate and Play it only generates and renders, the same with bbw2 that RealBand uses in the background, so RealBand can't preview a style with your chords either.

There are too many things in Biab to have in the BBPlugin,
a better way to go if you want all the Biab feature is
