Why from br 9.0 attack aircraft and bombers start on the ground?
All rank VI+ aircraft start on the runway because certain ones were very OP if they had an airspawn.

Attackers used to be able to end the game in 3-5 minutes when they had air spawns, it was kinda all or nothing so we got stuck with nothing.

They dont get airspawns because there are some aircraft designated as attackers that are very viable at A-A combat. Su-7, Etendard, A-4N and such would be totally stupid with their advantages gained. (As if A-4N isnt OP already)
Because they would end matches too quickly when they spawned in the air.
Now they’re balanced by taking off instead of being over-BR’d with air spawn.
The only planes that could reasonably get them are the buccaneers, A-10s and Su-25s. All others would do what you described.
Buccaneer S2 can destroy the entire line of forward soft targets before the enemy gets to the battlefield.
A-10s would do the same but with the enemy just getting there [See AD-4s at lower BRs] while being able to defend themselves better.
And Su-25s are just hilariously good at destroying ground targets.
