Something wrong with it that would be fixed with a trip to the dealer or he did not know how to start it. Either way, it's not typical for a Stihl to be hard starting IME.
I have a good friend that runs a tree service with about 30 workers. He owns ~50 saws. Mostly Stihl with a few Huskys and a couple Echos. Sometimes I'll go help with repairs and maintenance when his mechanic gets too backed up with other work so I get to see first hand what works and what doesn't in a hard environment.
Stihl has given him the best service and despite it being a 20 mile one way trip to a good dealer he has pretty much settled in on them.
Husky is good, but I would never buy one that has the chain brake built into the clutch cover. I have had to work on 2 of them where the coupler between the chain brake paddle on the saw body and the brake mechanism in the cover failed. That resulted in the chain brake being clamped to the clutch drum which then makes it a real PITA to get the clutch cover off.
Echoes rarely get used as the crews prefer the Stihls and Huskys.
