Why would a compressor failure prevent a car from starting?

The car is a Nissan Versa 2017. Was told this was preventing the engine from firing. If you need any other information just ask but I am car illiterate.

Need more information. Though, I have had a car where the AC compressor pulley seized up, preventing the crank shaft from turning, which prevented it from starting. You would be able to remove the serpentine belt and start the car still, but would have no alternator/water pump, so can only drive it short distances.
