Why is a valve added to the copper pipe but not PVC?

Getting ready to install and just wondering why the valve is added to the copper pipe install example?

Is it simply because Sharkbite only has transition couplings or reducing couplings?

It looks like the only way to get both is with the valve. So you get 1" to 3/4" and PVC to copper in one part.
