There are a million of these throughout the US. I think it’s done intentionally as a shibboleth.
In English, there’s also “clockwise-lockwise”. It makes more sense than talking about left and right.
It depends on the level of humidity. In really humid areas, the dust basically fuses to surfaces rather than sitting on top of it. It’s a lot more annoying to clean.
