This is a silly conversation.

If you don't train for strength, you won't get as strong as someone who does train for strength.

But all bodybuilders who train for size alone are stronger than those who don't train at all.

And the amount of additional work it takes to train strength is miniscule if you're primarily training for size. A few heavy top sets at the start of your workout are enough to drive improvements in the skill of strength while the hypertrophy work will increase your potential for force production.
