You do realise there's nothing *natural* about that? Not even half the
worlds population read text in the direction we happen to be using.

Also, with the way most advertisements show up on pages, many people tend to
ignore both the left and right margins.

As most webpages have the navigation/menu on the left hand side, there's where I
expect to find it if I need it.

Having it turn on and off causes the main text to move around on the page,
unless a blank space is reserved (which, in itself, is a bad thing).
