I think it basically comes from the fact that you obviously have to say whether you're coming over or around the wicket so the non-striker knows where to stand. This would logically be easy enough except for the fact that cricketing terminology is always ****ing stupid and which side is 'over' or 'around' completely swap over depending on which hand you bowl with.

Bowler should just have to tell the umpire either 'to your left' or 'to your right'.

It also comes from the fact that bowling of the wrong arm will never become a thing in cricket, so noone can be arsed to rectify this inconsistency
