Why not??
Because I don't care to take the time to figure it out because I it's a waste of time to me. When you R&R a bicycle wheel you should always place the bike right side to tighten the QR's; it makes sure the axles are anchored in the verticle dropouts and with horizontal dropouts it allows me to center the wheel against the back of the dropouts or adjusters.

Probably...why do you care how someone plops down their bike...?
When I was a kid riding BMX and/or coaster brakes bikes, I always flipped the bike, but when I started riding derailleur bikes with non-aero brake levers, I didn't want to smash down the cables and later with aero brakes and brifters I didn't want to damage the top of the hoods. Also when I started paying $50-$150 for a saddle, I did want it all scratched up either.
