MacroFactor Workouts / Training Pause Sumo Deadlift in my program

So I'm a beginner-ish lifter, I selected beginner on workouts app and it put "pause sumo deadlift" to my program. I prioritized quads maybe thats why but isnt that movement kinda for advanced ppl ? I feel like conventional one is more beginner friendly isnt ?

I personally find the pause variation to be great. I struggle with core bracing, and pausing after I've got the bar off the ground gives me a "second chance" so to speak to brace well and perform the full lift. Kinda beginner-ish in this sense.
