I have taken engines apart that have been sitting for year and there is still oil up in the piston rings and in between all the bearing surfaces.
The engine doesn't run dry.
If it takes the engine several seconds to build oil pressure after starting would you rather have the engine spinning at 1500rpms at no load or slam it in gear and slow it down to under 1000rpm?
With no oil pressure, I would want the engine spinning slower.
