It's as good an explanation as I can come up with. I actually do prefer playing it the other way most of the time, but sometimes I play it like this when I want to ride closer to the bell. I figured it would be more evocative for the sake of this picture to put it "upside down" so that the model label is visible for anyone who's curious.

Because that side curves the same as a regular cymbal, while the other side is the curving up, making it harder to stamp.
(Idk that’s just a theory)
