Yes, but I don't believe it's really for technical reasons. I rather
suspect that the manufactorer defines it deliberately that way to keep
things simple for the pilot. (Quick test: Do you know whether the green
arc defines maneuvring speed or rough air speed?)

Manouevring.

Rough air places lower loads on a structure than do extreme control
deflections, so rough air speed will always be the same as or higher
than manouevring speed, never lower.
