I agree with all you that this decision to force people accept unity
launcher at the left of the screen is an arbitrary decision and have no
argument that makes me believe it was a good choice.
They say that there were a research for finding the best position to the
launcher, but no one has shown me this research.
Let's start asking Unity developers, what is the difference between the
unity launcher at the left and right corners of the screen for example?
They consume the same amount of space.
