Ea vs cpa. This intuit line threw me!

Intuit has an article about EAs and CPAs and i am curious why they would write this line, after the broader accounting needs part:
“ CPAs are best for broader accounting needs
 and identifying credits and deductions to increase your tax refund or lower your tax bill.”

Isn't that exactly what EAs learn and do cpe for?! Why don’t they mention audit or other things EAs don’t do?

Curious what the community thinks.

Great article.  Many do not know that EA's even exists and confuse them with CPAs.

If you think it is factually incorrect, I can mention it to a moderator to be reviewed.  But if it's just a difference of option, it's just a blog post, likely the opinion of one person.
