largely ambidextrous. I think most left-handed people are - what choice do we have? Most kitchen knives are single-edged - for righties. Scissor, ditto - except for those horrible green-handled safety scissors in elementary school that shredded rather than cut. Pre-drilled bowling balls (I didn't know this for years). DOORS (argh).

The world is designed for the majority. We adjust or die. The upside, as you say, is that in the end we have greater choice because of that adjustment.
