Because you have to hit 1st before Neutral and the only way to reliably find 1st it to make it the bottom most click.

Motorcycles designed with that type of transmission don’t have a neutral but instead stop the shift process between two gears being disengaged/engaged, leaving all gears disengaged and causing a neutral. It will only fall into this position if you very lightly shift, so while shifting normally it skips right over the neutral notch.

actually some still do. In Pakistan and maybe some other parts of Asia and India, or other developing countries, you can find older designs that are still manufactured that still go N > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4, etc.

Its so you can keep tapping down when coming to a stop/low speed so you know youre in 1st instead of N
As others have said it’s to rule out neutral as a potential gear selection when riding. From 1>N is a “half click” you have to be intentional about and you actually skip it when you go from 1>2
