Reason: both variables can sensibly be zero, so the x- and y-intercepts correspond to meaningful real-world values. The other pairs have at least one variable where zero is not a meaningful/valid baseline (e.g., age vs weight: weight 0 or age at weight 0 is not meaningful; years of experience vs starting salary: salary = 0 is not a realistic intercept; temperature’s zero depends on scale, so it’s not a natural baseline).
