If SQL cannot open and recover master and model successfully, SQL's startup process will fail. If MSDB can't be opened and recovered, SQL Agent will not be able to run.

Well they can't just 'go suspect'
Suspect mode requires that SQL encounters corruption during a transaction rollback or during crash recovery. Typically, because the system databases (other than MSDB) aren't changed much, there aren't many rollbacks and corruption would much more likely be encountered during crash recovery on startup.

Open and recover = open database, run crash recovery.
