Simple:
1) They don't know/don't care which method is best -- they simply chose the one that is less likely to break something and cause warranty claims.
2) They know that a large % of bike purchases are newbies, and they want to avoid the lawsuits & bad publicity caused by new riders riding too fast too soon and crashing.
