The left-sided position but them at the advantage of having easy access to their sword with their right-handed in case of an enemy encounter.

Yeah and i've heard the right handed traffic began as a question; "What side of the road should we use?" The "Right Side" of course!

But what is sad is that there was a time that a standard could have been instituted without any real inconvenience to either group, but now there's no fixing it without huge infrastructure changes and major major carnage.
