It's the first logical place to put a 1KB buffer.



$00 - $FF zero page
$100 - $1FF stack
$200 - $2FF keyboard buffer
$300 - $3FF free space

why not $200?  seems logical to me to put it
there too?

It's not a mod $400 boundary.  The two lowest options are
$0000 and $0400, and $0000 is clearly taken.
