If I had to make an uneducated guess, it's probably because at early ages our recall is vastly different compared to years later. Older memories aren't as easily accessible because they're on different neural pathways that haven't been used in a while.
The earliest I can remember is probably riding my first bicycle at around age 7-8, and everything after that is a flurry of memories that I have no idea where they came from. Little bits of conversations or of rooms that used to be in the house before they were knocked down and rebuilt, etc.
