Because they imitate BE numbers.

So by right aligned do you mean padded with zeroes on the left?

Yes, but left/right does not have clear meaning.

When the input is smaller than the result type, the result is padded with zeros on the left (the result bytes of lowest indices are filled with zeros).

Can we add a flag for alignment?
Coming from Solidity would prefer left aligned if we are writing into a "bytes" type. But this opinion is not too strong if you only have use cases for right aligned.

Yes, an option can be added if needed, but so far this is only used for literals and loading storage values from JSON.

Perhaps add // TODO: support left alignment too with a flag.
