'Coz she's the main character of the GAME. That is to say, as the original first ship in the game, Fubuki was the PoV character through whom the game universe views itself. This is largely shown in the Fubuki Gambarimasu! 4-koma, which was the first official lore publication for Kancolle.

Fubuki is also designed to be the blankest character in the game. As such, she forms the "norm" against whom all the quirks of the other kanmusu can be compared. This makes it easier for players to project onto her whatever qualities they want, or just borrow her eyes (as in the 4-koma) to experience the Kancolle world. In practice, though, this is redundant because we're already given our own eyes (as even-more-generic Admiral) to do this.
