This might actually be the opposite of evil: if you try to insert the USB cable the wrong way, you don't need to rotate it, you can just try the next port. Seems more convenient to me.
I was thinking similarly about the amount of medical equipment I have seen where something like this was done because it shipped with a right angle WiFi adapter that covered the upper ports or something like that and changing the port was easier than recertification with a different dongle.
That was what I was thinking. Whatever plugs into this is larger or something. It also has those extra funny ports up top.
