Hmm, this is not obvious at all. Archbishops are very mobile and develop easily anywhere and in this respect the center of the back rank is not less favourable than the sides. I even think they can develop easier from g1 because the center Pawns are often moved first, freeing their squares, than from b1, k1 where they are trapped.
