None of the official timed laps are counted from the same point, they're all timed from the start line to the turn off point from the Nordschleife to the GP track.
Not strictly sure why they all time like that. I think it's because before it was a big thing for car makers others timed their laps like that so I suppose if others want to have something to compare to then it's the only way.
In reality, I'm with you, it's so close to being a complete lap, why not just complete it !!! Odd but true.
