Think about it. The springs adjust how hard the brake arms pull away from the rim. But as the brake arms sits on
opposite side of the rims, you need to turn them in opposite directions if you want to increase the clearance force.
Pushing the right side brake pad to the right increases clearance, but pushing the left side brake pad to the right decreases clearance.
So you need different directions to get the same result.
