Why does this app only calculate cardio calories and not strength training exercise?

The strength training section is only to keep track of your weights, reps and sets.

For calorie count (at least a rough estimate) use the entry called "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" in the cardio section.

I would warn you that if you use that it can be wildly inaccurate in both detection just depends on what muscle group you are working. For example legs way low, but for arm way high.
