I think it's because while he certainly wasn't the first to come up with spatial / furniture-y music - with Ambient 1 he officially coined "ambient" as a genre name (as a brand, as it were), by all accounts. That album was also probably the first introduction that kind of music for a great many people. It certainly was for me.
