Yeah, most people wait to switch the oil due to saving money. A very high quality synthetic costs quite a bit. Since the engine doesn't require a break-in to begin with, there are no "imperfect" parts that are rubbing together anyway, so it's not like you're risking damage to anything.
It comes down to synthetics are great for improved gas mileage, and extended drain intervals.
