Honestly, I like dumbell press more because it just feels more natural and I get a better squeeze/contraction
People who lift weights don’t care about being healthy fr fr. It’s literally countless studies showing how lifting heavy weights hurts you in the long run.

I've built my chest primarily from using dumbbells and cables. I work the muscle a lot more than from benching. I get compliments on my chest all the time.

Wtf is he talking about
Ive always preferred dumbells to bench. More natural plus range of motion, and also helps to correct imbalances. One of the most frequent injuries from lifting is pec tears from going heavy on bench because of your form is not perfect, youre in deep shyt

no homo though 
I've been doing dumbells and machines for the past few weeks because I hurt my shoulder on the barbell bench and can't do the barbell bench without pain for now but fine with dumbells.
I tore my left pec a couple years back, then hurt my shoulder/delt area after recovery. I said fukk bench since then, dumbells, machines, cables, weighted pushups and dips for chest from now on.Pics

You can switch to close grip, in fact, you can use the EZ curl bar for bench as well. It's hard to beat the compound lifts unless you are on something, and even then, you still do compounds unless you have some injury or hate compounds for w/e reason. Upper chest chest and lower chest need the compounds, "sculpting" the chest in the manner he is likely speaking to is largely genetics.
I like this image, it focuses on the muscles you want to focus on for building a chest:

Bench covers that, you have the incline press or an overhead press for the upper portion, flat bench still covers that but not as much.
