The reason it’s between 1st and 2nd is so that you never accidentally put it into neutral by shifting down.
This mistake could be treacherous on a dirt bike. Perhaps less so in a street bike.
You can always find 1st by shifting down and it’s intuitive to get to the rest of the gears from there. It’s not like a gear shift where you can tell where you are by looking at the shift lever.
