There's simply no need to be different to the rest of the entire world.

cough Sounds to me as if you've never connected a gas hose to a
propane bottle! ;-)

Or changed a lawn mower blade.

No need for either of those to be backwards either.* The designers were

You will find that most rotating gear use screws "the wrong way",
because the rotation would lose them if they weren't. To put the screws
"the right way" you have to make the motor turn "the wrong way".

a motor can turn either way. some even reverse direction with a switch
(or flipping the polarity).
