I think it is because when you start TMerge from the command line (or
from another tool) you sometimes want to change the 'old file' 'new
file' role of the two files you are diffing.

In the past I have also requested the ability to switch panes in
TMerge, but with a different effect: I want to have the left pane show
the 'new file' (f.e. my working copy version when diffing against
base) and have lines I added to this file show up in green. That's
just because I am used to focussing on the left side of a window as
being 'the most interesting part'.
From earlier replies by Stefan I understood that that was not an
option, so I am now getting used to focussing on the right pane.
