You can only start services on ports below 1024 if you are root. At least it's that way on respectable systems. :-) The default to 8080 and 8443 assumes that, like everything else (default index.html(s), dummy certs), it should install some kind of template installation for you to test with and change rather than trying to configure anything production-like. It also reduces the chance that it conflicts with any system-wide running web-server upon installation.
