It might be that it is easier to apply brakes with your foot further away from you than nearest to you (the rudder pedal will be pointing towards the downwind side).
Another interesting point is that carbon brake temperatures stay lower with one hard application rather than after extended taxiing. I know that wear is less, however I was not expecting a brake temperature of 1 after a firm brake application to make the apron taxiway; and it didn’t rise during the turnround either.
