Why right to left?

Makes sense for me (being right handed) to have the input on the right, otherwise you'd have the instrument cable on the floor under your feet.

I have no idea if that is the reason, but it does work better that way.
I don't know--I'd have cables there whichever side they were plugged into--but as most people are right handed it's easier to hook them up that way--although L to R seems like it would fit better.
