This would make it easier to tell how large values are relative to each other. It's frequently called out as misleading to not have bar chart axis start at 0. Some examples:

Also, now the scale can begin at the lowest value making that value not appear on the chart, which is confusing. Changing the default of this value would fix that issue as well:
