Well, I’m not a linguist, but I would guess because most sentences are about nouns, so recognizing who is doing what easier might be a reason.
But honestly, you are already on the wrong track if you ask for reasoning in a language. That shit is completely man made, so we could make it logical. But nooohoo, every language has so many exceptions to their rules.
It’s just so weird, I know many languages, some don’t use capitalization at all, sure, but all that do use it do it for names and start of sentences. Sometimes whether a word is a name or a noun is different from language to language (for example language names, some capitalize them, some don’t), but is a separate issue.
And languages make grammatical changes even to this day, it’s never too late to change something that has no benefit or hinders the usage.
