Why do you drive on the left side of the road?
Just kidding!
It has to do with "torgue induced stress cracks"! Turning to the right to tighten tends to induce too much torgue amongst right handed people!
I have also heard that it is a conspiracy to overthrow the age old American "value system" LEFTY LOOSEY, RIGHTY TIGHTY!
I don't know!!! Why has no one ever asked this before? No One ever checked their power steering fluid?

Who knows why; probably having to do with vibration.

All early C4 corvettes in the northern hemisphere were equipped with left-handed threaded PS reservoirs. Don't you guys know anything?? They went to right-handed threads when the results of simulations of Galactic Supernovae were carried out to study the rate of nearby events, which had a direct effect on Earth's ecology though ionizing radiation and cosmic ray bombardment. A nearby supernova left a radioactive imprint (60Fe) in recent galactic history, particularly during the 1980s.

I've always been perplexed by that but never remembered to inquire...first time I checked it I'm surprised I didn't break the whole thing from putting so much pressure on it.
My father always told me if there was a really tight bolt or something, that you should actually try to slighty tighten it before loosening. When I "tightened" it, it came loose
