Because the other numbers (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,) are surrounded by 0,1, and 9 and are held hostage due to the German leibthemalone tradition popular at the time for naming fighter aircraft. The ME 163 and 262 broke with this tradition after the deer ran free at night on the moor.
Porsche, American Law Enforcement, Calendars-Are-Us and terrorists resumed the tradition because of complaints from the International Brotherhood of Numbers Two thru Eight about intellectual property and trademark concerns.
