This is the behavior if there are obstacles around the car. If you go to an open space, like an empty parking lot, the camera would switch to the front when you put the gear into Drive.

I think the rationale behind this behavior is that when maneuvering around obstacles, the camera would stay on the least visible view (thus most beneficial). The front view to be honest is sort of optional, as you simply need to look ahead!

And if you really want the front view, just press the panorama camera button - it's much better than the parking front view.
