I'm pretty sure the reason is because if you strip the ocean out of the coupled models the earth would be completely covered in snow in a matter of weeks and would stay the way for millions of years while CO2 built up in the atmosphere from volcanic discharges until it was as thick as the Venusion atmosphere and then it would be a runaway greenhouse same as Venus with the final stable state hot enough to melt lead on the surface.

However, the conditions predicted for the open ocean may not reflect the future conditions in the coastal zone, where many of these organisms live (Hendriks et al. 2010a, b; Hofmann et al. 2011; Kelly and Hofmann 2012), and results derived from changes in pH in coastal ecosystems often include processes other than OA, such as emissions from volcanic vents, eutrophication, upwelling and long - term changes in the geological cycle of CO2, which commonly involve simultaneous changes in other key factors affecting the performance of calcifiers, thereby confounding the response expected from OA by anthropogenic CO2 alone.
In 1783, Benjamin Franklin observed that tiny particles from volcanic eruptions tended to chill the weather.
So, this would be a modulating force to prevent short term heating of the surface, as more volcanoes would produce short term cooling from volcanic aerosols.
As they stand at present the models assume a generally static global energy budget with relatively little internal system variability so that measurable changes in the various input and output components can only occur from external forcing agents such as changes in the CO2 content of the air caused by human emissions or perhaps temporary after effects from volcanic eruptions, meteorite strikes or significant changes in solar power output.
The controversy did provoke studies by geologists who would eventually show that the other great extinctions of the past, some even worse than the doom of the dinosaurs, had been caused by massive injections of greenhouse gases from volcanic outbursts — an all too relevant demonstration of the power of the gases.
If aerosols from volcanic eruption sometimes dim the stratosphere, when they do circulate back out then we are left with dimmer surface albedo.
It is a simple discrepancy which must be laid to rest, or there is no way to conclude anything about the system: how were CO2 levels maintained in a tight range over centuries, given all the random influx and egress from volcanic activity, environmental perturbations, deforestation, desertification, fossilization, agricultural trends, wars, oceanic turnover, continental drift, weathering of minerals, fires, floods, etc..., if there is not a fairly strong feedback holding them in place?
The primary drivers of these cloud changes appear to be increasing greenhouse gas concentrations and a recovery from volcanic radiative cooling.

From understanding the salt trail and it showing a vastly more ocean water on this planet, then carbon did not have a chance to turn to gases from volcanic activity due to the massive pressure per square inch.
Its main message — largely missing from news reports and blogs alike — is that carbon emissions interact with a wide range of other factors, from volcanic activity to El Niño weather patterns, in determining the trajectory of global temperatures.

Ridley and his colleagues also tracked the source of aerosols in the lower stratosphere from volcanic eruptions during the 2000s.
Example, the warming from CO2 and the cooling from volcanic particles have different impacts on precipitation — therefore they are not exactly interchangable — but they are useful none the less.
