Frame 0 is the top of the call stack.

There's no general case when it comes to debugging. You never know what will be relevant to figuring things out. So, crash logs try to capture as much information as is practical.
Note that there's no reason to expect that crashes are usually in the main thread. And, yes, knowing what the other threads are doing is often useful.
