Why do many car towing eyes have left-hand thread ?

I dont know in numbers but most cars should be left hand thread, the reason is due to the way a rope is woven ! although most people use towing bars these days if a rope is used when under tension it trys to unwind by design hence a towing eye being left hand thread.
