Why is it recommended for Judokas with shoulder injury to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instead?

Just watched a show where a Judoka can’t compete/do Judo anymore due to shoulder injury and does BJJ instead. How is BJJ not as stressful to the shoulders as Judo?

The shoulder is essential in the initial moves in Judo including all the throws and counters, while BJJ does use the shoulder in choke holds etc. it doesn’t undergo the same huge strain of the moves in judo.
