Is this seriously the reason why?

NO. Four fingers in the air would be confused with the three fingers for third down.

Easier for fans to see, pre stadium big screens.
On a full count, umps put up 3-2 fingers, then make two fists.

Does the referee use his middle finger to signal a first down?

Easier to see with a quick glance
