That's not a good reason. It's the byte order used for some network protocols, but definitely not all. And given that protocols aren't interchangeable there's no advantage from having all protocols use the same endianness.
Little endian makes way more sense today because all modern computers are little endian. The network itself doesn't care what you use. It's just a stream of bytes to the network.
