its called the neutral pose and it is to make rigging a lot easier. which do you think would be easier?
1.)building a skeleton rig for a person in a complex sitting position with his/her legs crossed and hands on their lap or...
2.) a person in the neutral pose and their body and arms straight?

as for free models in poses, you may be able to get pre-rigged models, but that is quite hard to find.
