Which makes sense.
The right hand was used for the carriage return on manual typewriter. Modern times, of course, most users of often have left hand poised on keyboard and right hand flipping between keyboard and mouse.

In addition, I don't know if its accurate, but I have heard in the past that the QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow down typists who were typing faster than the manual typewriters could handle at the time. It would make sense that the key layout would be less than ideal for the typical right hander.
