Because we have to create a way to write notes without smearing the ink on the page at a very early age.
Just do what I did, learn to write with your right hand. As a bonus only you will be able to read your own handwriting, at least some of the time.
I wrote with my left before school. They told me the teacher will beat me for it, so I relearnt with my right hand.
Ugly writing, and I mostly forgot with my left. But I still couldn't hit a nail with my right..
I learned with the right hand, because I went to a backwater school where it was assumed everyone was right handed, and probably my parents never gave attention to these things.
