Metal Plate Mount Upturned

The standard Metal Plate Scan Hook has its front plate level or descending from the hook scan arm. Downward insures the plate does not interfere with the product above, positions the label more directly in from of the facing, and even provides some minimal anti-sweep benefits. When would you choose upward for the metal plate orientation? Inventing a reason, how about when vending delicate tissue wrapping paper in fragile plastic bags? Having the metal plate completely out of the way might have an advantage. Another explanation might be that the hooks were forged in the Southern Hemisphere where the Coriolis Effect is opposite of the North. If location makes a difference in rotation from left to right, why not top to bottom too? Fixture Physicists please respond.
