Because NXT wasn't really NXT until the Network came out and gave it a platform.
Yes Seth is the first NXT champion, but really Neville is the first NXT Champion, he won the first title match on the Network. Yes you can go back and watch it all now, but at the time when Seth, and Big E and Bo as well, they basically had their runs as champion at house shows and in a regional market.
In terms of buzz and building the NXT brand, Seth, Roman, Bo, Cesaro, they really were more pre NXT vs part of the brand as it is today.
