Since Kindle brings you back to the last page you were at, if it did open at the cover that would only be once. It's not like you have to click past it every time.
Though IMHO most covers designed for colour look pretty crummy in greyscale at whatever size; still I want to see it and find it annoying when I open new book I have to click back and back until I find the cover.

I have to add a "me, too" here. I never found cover view all that useful, so I've always used library view. So I enjoy that glance at the cover before I start reading.
I like what DaleD was talking about - a flash of the screen while the book's loading and counting pages. I seem to remember that at least one or two of my readers also gave you the option to use the cover as the "sleep screen", so you always knew what book you were picking up.
I know I'm in the smallest minority possible when I say I miss the days when the title displayed in a fixed title area at the top or bottom of the page. I remember how much I liked that reminder with my old eBookwise.
