It's historical. Older versions of GPG generated keys with a standard hash preference of RIPEMD/160 before SHA-1. When GPG later started using that hash preference to decide which hash to pick, this resulted in people who were expecting SHA-1 to suddenly get RIPEMD/160. To restore the old behavior, we stuck a SHA-1 preference in personal-digest-preferences.
