The reason for the INT switch has nothing to do with ground operations. It is for when you are wearing your oxygen mask and can't talk cross cockpit. Also the matter of which engine is started first varies with operator. I almost always started number 1 first because the green hyd system operates the brakes and steering. You don't need the yellow system anyway. Also if you do single engine taxi as I usually did you have to have the green system.
