"...i have to remember to subtract 1 from layer's preview"
100% correct.
This was my first request for a feature change over on GitHub and the team (or a contributor) took a look at it. I won't rehash it here but it turned out that this is far from an easy change. I have 17 slicers installed and as far as I can tell, most slicers start layer numbering in their gcode at 0 (the exceptions are Simplify3D which starts at 1, and PrusaSlicer which doesn't appear to number the layers and just notes the Z height(?)). Subsequently, you can't open a PrusaSlicer or Symplify3D gcode file in Cura as it won't display correctly.
I filed it under "Know thy software".

Another Cura release has arrived and in this 5.8 beta release, the focus is on improving Z seams, as well as completing support for the full Method series of printers by introducing a profile for the UltiMaker Method.
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
