I'm thinking seed starting medium is aimed at human esthetic
considerations but seeds may prefer rough and chaos without human
niceties. Small particle size would be compacted and perhaps damp off
likes it that way. No gaps to jump.

Few garden plants do well growing on , in, or under sidewalks. Depending
on where you live and garden, some of these plants have no chance, at
becoming weeds. Germination requires optimal conditions to get your
investment in money, time, and labor back. Normally, if special
conditions are required, like chilling in a refrigerator for 4 months,
scaring of the seed, or no sunlight until germination, it will say so on
the packet. Sterilize your germinating medium, keep moist, i.e. give
your plants their best chance. When they are big, they will have to fend
for themselves against soil, temps, and sun.
