While it's the easiest to play, it doesn't make sense that a guy who has played shortstop his entire life would be rated higher at first base. He's never charged a bunt, scooped a low throw, stretched for a high throw, led the pitcher on the 3-1 play, etc. But in OOTP, he can play 1B as a Gold Glover without ever having played it before.
