Lichess implements increment incorrectly

I was just made aware (at lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/time-controls-meaning#6) that Lichess implements per-move-time-increment incorrectly. And when I say incorrectly, I mean not in accordance with FIDE's official chess rules.

On p. 31 of FIDE's official laws of chess (rcc.fide.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FIDE_Laws-Of_Chess_2018-1.pdf), it says that an increment is an amount of time "added from the start before each move for the player". So you already receive your first increment before your first move.

You can easily witness this when for instance watching the recent World Blitz or Rapid championships. The players always start with 3:02 on their clocks in Blitz respectively 15:10 in Rapid.
It's the same in all other over-the-board tournaments. Accordingly, all chess clocks work that way. (I suppose it may be possible to program a manual mode on clocks that allow for that with an additional 1-move-period at the beginning without increment. But that would be quite a hassle.)

Yet Lichess only starts adding the per-move-bonus for move 2.
Why? What reason could there possibly be for deviating from the chess rules in such a detail, causing unnecessary confusion?

I propose to change this. Please grant any per-move-increment for the first move. As is always the case in over-the-board chess.

I can't help but notice the similarity to this topic: lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/lichess-categorizes-blitz-rapid-and-classical-incorrectly-for-many-time-controls).
Apparently, Lichess likes to offhandedly change FIDE's official chess rules... :-(
Deviating from OTB rules on Lichess is fine if there is a good reason for it! But there doesn't seem to be any good reason in sight in this case...
Or am I missing one?

OTB the clock starts before you make your first move, on Lichess only after you make your first move. There is your good reason.

In the first move you get 20 seconds to do it not discounting in your time. I think its to prevent time disadvantages caused by internet issues. Since you are not using your real time i do not think you deserve to get the extra time bonus.

Huh. So I was indeed missing a reason for the change. I admit that's actually a good one!

Which means I probably judged too quickly above, I retract my change proposal.

For what it's worth, Chess.com doesn't grant the increment for the first move, either, but still automatically starts your clock before it. So my argument remains true for Chess.com.

Which is yet another reason why Lichess is better! :-)

I actually missed the difference at Lichess because I lately played too much at Chess.com and not enough at Lichess. That needs to change!

I think it is a really good idea to only start the clock after the first move. Makes it much easier to wait for an opponent without staring at the board all the time with your finger at the mouse...

In my humble opinion, abiding by FIDE rules is much more important than some flimsy reason about an unstable internet connection. This internet problem could also occur AFTER the first move, and we're also not doing anything about it.
