Not for me. Everything in life tightens to the right. Taps, screws,
etc, etc. Having to do one thing the other way simply will never work
for me. It's one of those things I expect to be intuitive. If I want
to tighten something, it goes clockwise. If that snaps a fragile
component inside the camera, I'll never buy their product again.
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
clearly dimwits.

Evidently, you don't understand the mechanics of a spinning lawnmower
blade. If the nut tightened in the normal way, the blade would work
loose in use.

The propane connection as safety feature ensuring that only a proper
fitting can be connected to a tank. It stops idiots like you from
blowing themselves up.

in this case, it would actually be a feature.
