No one was confused what you were doing.
I'm saying the historical reason for why it is the way it is, doesn't matter. I would hope we design our languages to be maximally clear and useful, not to be maximally full of historical cruft.
There's no accounting for taste, so you're welcome to like whatever you like, but I don't think you liking a backward syntax is particularly persuasive. It sounds more like you're just used to it than that you see any actual benefits to it.
