Well, actually it does.
It has the inertia of both grinding wheel to get up to speed.

The motor could certainly get it up to speed fast with a high torque,
but the user of a grinder can wait a few seconds before applying his
workpiece... so "low startup torque" :== "low startup load" is acceptable in this application.
