How could Joseph Smith have quoted each of the farewell speeches from the small plates in Moroni’s “verbal curtain call”?

Moroni’s final chapter of the Book of Mormon incredibly includes quotes from each of the farewell speeches in the small plates, his own father, & Christ’s quotation of Isaiah 54.

The final 8 verses of Moroni 10 include:

• 2 Nephi 33
• Moroni 7
• 2 Nephi 1
• 3 Nephi 22
• Omni 1
• Enos 1
• Jacob 6

Hank R. Smith notes:

Since most of these references (any in 1 Nephi-Omni) were translated after Moroni, this is an incredible testament to the truthfulness of the BoM. Joseph Smith would have to remember to use each quotation later in each farewell speech found in the small plates. And after going through all that work making the BoM seem more authentic, Joseph never mentions it?

Why wouldn’t Joseph Smith ever mention this if he took the time to compose it?
