Zooming

In the film days, every company did it it differently. The thought was you would stick with one brand so that everything worked the same. Zooms were clockwise, counter clock wise, and even push pull and pull push. An even bigger headache was focus was the same way: turn left or turn right, each could be different. So you had all kinds of possibilities if you owned several brands of lenses. It was a real pain shooting high school sports, you really had to know your equipment. AF normalized half of the equation. Power Zooms help normalize too. But I don't really like power zoom.

In the days of film, my zooms were all push pull. For zooming creativity, I find push pull easier. I have learned to deal with turning zoom. After all, God gave me a brain(it was confirmed by a MRI earlier this year) to help me deal with the variety in life.

from the first slr systems photographers have endlessly vetched about this - see canon/nikon.
no reason other than not so subtly direction the above mentioned body owner to same system lenses.

Yes, but you had to turn that same ring to focus the lens! 
I see that as an advantage. My left was serving three missions from one spot: (1) zooming (2) focusing (3) helping stabilize the system so the body didn't need a grip the size of Rhode Island
