I disagreed at first, but realized what they were trying to convey. Specifically "learning curve" is a defined term in learning theory that represents the accumulation of knowledge. Like the the "forgetting curve" [1], the use of "curve" represents at each learning opportunity (or forgetting). "Learning curve" between intervals would be more akin to "learning gains". So a "learning curve" that is "steep" implies that learning occurs rapidly; a "forgetting curve" that is "steep" would be "in one ear and out the other". Super pedantic and I don't plan to change my use of steep learning curve, but I get where the intention is coming from.
