Video production 101, once you've established action going in one direction, don't cut to a camera that shows it going the other way. It's disorienting to the viewer.

Basketball games do the same thing, to use another example. If you have Kevin Durant driving to the rim going left-to-right and they go to a camera where he's now finishing his drive going to the left, it's incredibly distracting and takes you out of the moment. That's why it never happens.

Even in sports (-entertainment), there needs to be a logical visual flow to people's actions. Hence the hard camera to establish a "world" for them.
