Is there a technical reason it starts at index 2 instead of 0?

This makes me think about something. Why don't we support this as a standard?

It would be nice if local ipv6 spelled out "local"

imagine this: local::homelab in your url-bar just working

Maybe because IPv6 digits are hexadecimal? and we also have DNS service for that.

We want IPs to be distinctive from domains, having real words in both would be highly confusing
