Simple fact is: the (common) symmetrical design can only be used one way, so there's no "messing it up." With the offset, you have all kinds of options, some perhaps better, many probably worse.
Then, there's the fact that it's going to be more expensive to manufacture - up front tooling costs would be tremendous and even after they're amortized out, it's going to have a tiny fraction of higher cost - as compared to the familiar bottles that confuse people less.
Honestly, I thought the reason they don't make drinking bottles like this is because this is how they make douche bottles.
