Atmega328P ATmega328P flash address order explanation?

I'm currently attending a basic course inon real-time embedded systems. Recently, we have been talking about embedded systems memory architecture. When doing some extra studying on memory maps, I came across the memory map for the Atmega328P-microcontrollerATmega328P microcontroller. As can be seen from the image, the flash is divided into a boot section and an application section.

enter image description here

My question is, whyWhy is the boot section not starting from address 0? As I've understood it, the microcontroller application won't run without a bootloader. So why doesn't the bootloader occupy the lower addresses if everything else relies on it?
