If you care about describing the details, you can compress your description better if it's a low-entropy state.

But of course, cosmology is full of more mundane explanations about how the limit of the possible entropy of the universe can grow with time, so a high-entropy state suddenly has a lot of room to increase even further.

That's a good point. I was going to mention expansion of the universe as another one, but that invites its own line of "why" questions!
