Because we're not a bunch of delta bravos who decided "oh, it's their first time shooting? the appropriate caliber is the .50ae so they smack themselves in the head and we get a good laugh about it."
We tell people to start off shooting a .22 for the same reason you don't teach a toddler to swim by throwing them in the river - we want their initial impression to be a good one and we want them to shoot again and enjoy the sport.
