I remember reading here somewhere that certain cars idle around 1000-12000rpm when rolling in neutral "to be ready" to accelerate. My guess is that may be the engineers decided that the only time a car is rolling in neutral is between gear changes, so it may be better to not allow the engine's rpm to fall too low since in a moment it will be in gear and will have to rev up to 2000 (or more) again.
Pretty dumb, so maybe there's a better explanation.
