There's wayyyyyy too much going into this to pinpoint it easily.
Maybe their manufacturing process/tooling is easier to have them on the right side. Maybe every other single rotor sport bike has them on the right side and they want to look like the cool kids. Maybe the right side calipers are easier/cheaper to make. Maybe there's something weird to the forces and it's easier to put it there. Maybe the lead design supervisor liked it better on the right side.
And just to throw a wrench in the logic... there exists a rare unicorn pregen model that has dual front rotors from the factory, so we know they had the manufacturing/assembly tooling to make both sides...
Bottom line: who cares? it still stops either way.
