I knew there had to be a reason for it; like I said - everyone does it.
You appear to essentially want your weight as far forward as you can reasonably have it while still getting a little traction from the toes on your back leg as you drive off. Anything more than that is wasted energy; anything less and your back leg is essentially along for the ride.
So in getting that weight transfer the only way to get that calf fully 'engaged' on the back side is to have your leg way the hell back there. Yeah - that checks out.
