Same premise as to why you don't want to fill a filter with oil beforehand. Anything that makes it harder for the pump to move the air out of the system and replace it with oil, is going to increase the time it takes to prime.
Priming is really
done once the oil gets sucked into the pump and that first bit gets squeezed by the pump. After that point, the engine passages fill rapidly.
