Where do you get this information?
Go into any bike shop and test every one of their floor models. Then go to any major group ride and test all of the bikes there. Let us know what you find.
It not the universal configuration and there is no law requiring it but it's the vast majority in the US.
But, then you knew all of that didn't you?
