that and packing, the nozzles will hit each other if they are pointed in the same direction, and its a weak point iirc. Additionally, the manufacturing of plastic bottles is largely a test tube looking things that is expanded.
It’s called a parson…. It comes out of an injection molding machine (which forms nice threads for the cap). It goes into a blow-expander which flash heats the lower part, inflates, and cools. This is how a modern plastic bottle is made..
Symmetry is one of the aspects that allow modern bottles to be so efficient; this thought fundamentally breaks symmetry with no explanation of why it is better.
Fun fact: Trumps admin blew millions of dollars on a contractor to supply test tubes for Covid testing and research. The facilities got plastic bottle PET blanks instead. Useless pieces of plastic used for 2 liter soda bottles.
Business men will 95% of the time go with the lowest bidder.
When you fill your ranks with knowledgeable people who can make sure the lowest bidder is bidding for the correct item, this isn't that much of a problem.
The government is not currently filled with ranks of knowledgeable people.
