Is there a reason?
My reasons are mostly practical. 1) The F-transposed parts of std. rep., at least from Kalmus, contain many errors. 2) Because F-transposed parts are not always available even at the high school youth symphony level, it is a good idea to get used to the original key parts from the start. 3) Habit. By now, the F-transposed parts look weird to me. 4) Pitch placement within the key. In most styles where non-F parts are used, written C is tonic, G is dominant, etc. This makes it easier to hit the notes.
