Why can't all gas tank fillers be on the same side?

Both sides? Back when GM had the gas tanks on both sides, all the fuss was about turning the truck around to fill the other tank.

I had one of those, a 1984 Chevy C20, 7.4 (454) engine. It had two 20-gallon tanks, and needed them, as it would only go 150-200 miles on each. Having to turn around was a nuisance because somebody (through no fault of their own) would zip into the pump space I was trying to get into. A few stations had a long enough hose that could reach over the top of the bed and get into the far side tank, if I pulled up close enough.

Am I the only one that has just pulled the hose to the other side of the vehicle and filled it up?
