Why do authors not tell you outright about the main character and where they are in the first chapter?

You'd have to ask him or her yourself, of course. But I believe writer's like to keep secrets and mysteries until the perfect moment. Besides, bringing out the main character right off slows the story down. There has to be smaller characters that know this main character that bring it to life. With other characters that aren't as important, it's easier for a writer to tell you about the setting and plot. They can worry about the main character later!
