The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.

Imagine it like a car steering wheel.

You'd say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.

Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.
