Default caulking around exterior vinyl clad mull posts and jams on a door

I recently had a new exterior door installed and after it was installed
i noticed stickers on the vinyl clad mull posts that said "no caulk".
these stickers were right above the sill. I asked the man who
installed the door what they meant and he said "don't put caulk around
the mull posts. I am confused because this really looks like a place
where one should put caulking so as not to get a leak under the sill.
Has anyone ever heard of this? The mull posts have a thin vinyl
covering over wood. The jams have the same covering and they were not
caulked either.
