What you are talking about is more specifically called "pivoting."

Obviously that is key for 2B/SS and all DP turning is more important at those positions. But 1Bs have some of the most difficult DPs in baseball.
That doesn't make sense to me either. Actually being able to make that turn at 2nd is a unique skill that not all infielders do well. Starting a double play is just being able to field a ball cleanly and make an accurate throw to 2nd, skills that would seem to already be encapsulated within the range, error and throwing ratings.
