I don't know why, but I always forget about that!

ROW(1:1) and similar idioms should never be used for it is one of the
sources of spreadsheet errors by giving way to non-robust formulas.

If ROW()-ROW($D$2)+1 looks too baroque, you could use

ROWS($1:1)

instead (which I somewhat dislike because of how it looks when the
cursor is in the formula).
