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.

A seized AC compressor can stall an engine by putting too much resistance on the serpentine belt. But if the AC compressor clutch is not engaged, (AC is off) it should start and run just fine.
