Because it mimics the fountain pen? That’s how you hold it when you write with one (the cursor being the virtual tip)

If this is the case, should someone using a left handed mouse have a cursor that tilts the opposite way?
Don't we? I distinctly recall that when I was using a left-handed mouse on WinNT 4 in the nineties, the mouse pointer was reversed? Whether that was the original cursor or just someone at IT being a leftie and installing a custom cursor, though, I have no idea.

I later found it much better for me to simply use my right hand for mousing about, leaving my left hand free for taking notes.

Thanks for the link! As a fountain pen addict, I found the video captivating. I was curious, though, as to why the person was printing, not writing. Sad.
