That's interesting. I always assumed it was the publisher that decided that. I don't like it, personally; I'd rather start at the cover.
What about books that have a Preface or Forward?

For many years I used to just flip to chapter 1. Then I discover that many times I was missing the backstory that would have made current story events way more clearer

Is this another case of 'We know best'?
