This applies to any recipe, though? It's not hard to just read the next step, especially when every ingredient name is in bold. Hell, it never even actually says to put things in individual bowls.
I dunno, I've followed many where they explicitly tell you to put in same mixing bowl. Things are written in a more logical order.

It's not always the next step, sometimes its one of the last as its a raw salad of some sort with a quick marinade or simple dressing.

On every recipe they provide you it is formatted with picture on left and steps on the right. Every recipe prep shows individual bowls of cut ingredients.
So it may not _say_ to put them in individual bowls but it always shows you you should put them in individual bowls.
It's a minor gripe the original poster had (and I share) you shouldn't have to study the recipe. It's not hard to just say cut up x,y,z and place into same mixing bowl. I want to pull out all the ingredients and start cooking and do my best to meet their advertised time, not spend more time planning their recipe.
I'm sure many people have made the same mistake, pictures speak a 1000 words after all.
