If we did that then the sub-blades would either have to open up on the left of the main menu, coming out of the area where you've blended it into the background, which could look pretty bizarre. Alternatvely the sub-blade would still come out on the right of the main menu but this would force the main menu back towards the middle of the screen.
One of the primary reasons for having the menu on the blade is that the blade sits on top of the background so having it blend into the background runs against one of the core concepts behind the design.
Personally I'm not sold on the idea (as you may already have guessed) but if someone comes up with a blinding way of having the blade on the right then you never know.
