On the original Avid-L, Eric Peters explained that they struggled with that for a while, but decided that people in the west read text and music from left to right. Reading a timeline means it is built from left to right. At the time, it was not so easy to code it so that the user could choose the direction.
You are of course right that any tape or film based system runs in the 'other' direction.
