I don't see any good reason, at least in the domain I am familiar with.

It's not just about remove-first, but any place in the score.
Consider a voice looking like:

r4 | R2.*7 | r2 \bar ":|:"
<some melody during s4 s2.*7 s2> \bar ":|:"
r4 | R2.*7 | r2 \bar "|."

In the first line, despite the remove-first, the voice will be
displayed.
In the last line, it will displayed too, although there are only
rests.

So this is more about the removability of rests in general.
