Why aren’t our dominant hands noticeably more toned than our non-dominant hands?

I started thinking about this as I was grating a carrot and then making dalgona with a regular whisk, both of which I have to take breaks every minute or so because it’s a legit work out. As I do more and more of these kinds of activities countlessly all day long for the last 20 years of my life, how come my hands are relatively in the same shape even though my LH mainly only supports my RH in the most activities?

I also only very recently started weightlifting. So prior to about 2 months ago I wasn’t doing anything that would “even out” the work my LH and RH are doing.

My RH is for sure stronger than my LH because I can’t open a jar with my LH, but how come they look the same if it’s been my RH doing all the heavy lifting my entire life?

Also there is usually a -small- difference in hand sizes. I used to sell jewelry and rings definitely are a little bigger on people’s dominant hands. Maybe not by much but there is a difference
