Front brakes on the right is more related to motorcycles and those that ride them. they have the front brake on the right, clutch on the left.
Many pros now ride off the shelf bikes that may not be designed for them. IE the stem to seat height drop is less for we consumer types. what that often means for a pro is they ride a smaller frame with a longer stem and seat post to get the drop they want. and of course they are flexible enough to use every day. If anything many of us want higher bars and some of us buy bigger frames to get less drop and them put a short stem on. If I ever ordered a custom frame I think I would just need a taller head tube and keep the rest of the geometry the same.
