my guess, if white bishop takes knight, you are either down 3 points or ruin your kings defenses by taking back with the pawn. White would stay even on material but weaken your position. By moving the knight you allow the queen to defend the other knight while also developing the knight

This is the answer. I see it now. Thank you.

Another update from another source, I would be doubling my pawns as well by moving my Queen instead of my Knight.
