(IMO) There is certainly no reason it CANNOT; however, there is a common belief that what makes it the best against computers is very fast/deep tactical calculations, which is where _all_ (decent) apps are better than humans already. On the other hand, since computers already outdo humans in this area, it is often stated that programs that put extra focus on positional factors -- even at the cost of some tactical speed (i.e., poorer results versus other programs) -- have the best balance of factors for doing well against top human grandmasters.
