Practical reason? Tradition? Or simply that's how they do it and there is nothing more to think about here?

That was popular when Kindle Unlimited was new since going to the ToC would basically show you as having read every page. Other than that, no real reason.

With ePub3 ebooks, the navigation document is an xhtml file which I tend to make visible and place after the cover and title page near the front of the ebook. I do much the same with an ePub2 though there the navigation document is the .ncx file and you need to create a HTML version of it for humans.
And then we have the bleeps who place a human readable ToC at the start and end of the ebook.
