For one, that unbalances the campaign. That is like starting a PnP game with 4 level 1 characters and 1 level 17 character. How much fun will that be? And it's not that I pick a low number, the number I chose is reasonable. I don't enter a campaign at almost the support level (20) because that isn't fair to the other players and the DM. Just think of it like this: How much fun would you have if you started BG2 with a level 23 character? Now howabout this: How much fun would you have if you started BG2 with a level 6 or 7 character? Most would say the second, as you get to take challenges, rather than outmatch everything and fly through the game.
