It is just an impression I got after reading many stories on this website and others that L5-S1 ADR tends to cause some problems, albeit rarely. I also got a feeling that some doctors are apprehensive about this level ADR. Dr. Zeegers for example mentioned a hybrid option right away. I am not a doctor, but looking at the angle of L5-S1 it does look like the disk could have more potential to slip.
