    No reason, they’re conventions. Check out this list and you’ll get a better idea. It’s simply a number that the developer assigns without a particular meaning. It’s kinda like telephone help lines, one thing that a developer might want to try is to find a pretty memorable number while trying to avoid conflicts with other programs running at the same time.
