That's not really true. For example:
(let [{:keys (foo bar)} map]
...)
Here it is actually on the "right" (noting that "left" and "right" are
very relative in this case).
If I were to guess, I would say that the example above is the reason for
the design – :keys seem useful more often than naming individual keys.
Of course, I'm just guessing.

Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of
interest is easy.
