I think it's because it's easier to model the armpits, sides of body, inner arms, shoulders and so forth and makes it easier to rig. However...
Since human arms cannot go upwards from straight out (try it if you don't believe me*), I think it would make more sense to have them at 45 degrees, so halfway between down at the sides and the maximum upward movement.
*Yes, you can hold your arms above your head but only by moving them forwards and lifting up from there. From straight out, you can't unless you twist 'em first.
