Not sure its EVERYONE, but those that tournament fish competitively or just fish in general for $$, I can only assume they do whatever is most efficient and effective.

Yep. I'm a lefty and fish exclusively with my right hand as the cranking hand (even with a spinning rig.) It's always felt more natural to me.
