Variety, and not discouraging beginners, were much more important a few decades back, when there was often only 1 course in an area to play every day. Today, most places have multiple courses; some can be suitable for beginners while others geared to more advanced players, and we can all get more variety from playing different courses.
Also, in the same way that signage matters more to the traveling player than the local, variety in a single course matters much more to the everyday local. If you're a traveler, or a local who plays a particularly course every once-in-a-while, you don't necessarily need a choice of tees or targets to change up the experience.
