Ah, it's because --file only sets the buffer, displaying it in a window
only happens later, when initial-buffer-choice is processed (i.e., after
all command line arguments have been processed).

(elisp) Startup Summary:

     24. [...]
         If one file is given as a command line argument, that file is
         visited and its buffer displayed alongside `initial-buffer-choice'.
