I could definitely be wrong here, but I always felt it was for the little kids, whose first introduction to Sefarim is a Siddur. The first thing they learn to daven is Birchos Hashachar. As a raya for my theory, may I add that many Siddurim start, even before Seder Hashkamas HaBoker, with a page or two of Alef Bais as if we’re learning K’riya.
