To add to the question most religions of the time saw the left hand as a bad thing, so I’m assuming everyone regardless of dominance used their right hand. Also, wouldn’t the writing from right-to-left cause smudge errors in the script similar to how lefties get the “grey palm” when writing?

It’s precisely because they were right handed; they used to carve words into stone before the advent of paper.
Much easier to hold the hammer in the right hand if you’re right handed.
With paper, people just got kinda used to writing right to left.
The trick is apparently to keep your writing hand in the lines below the words (or rotate the paper by like 45 degrees).
