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?

Mine is. I have a whole body issue with that. My hair is softer and Fuller on one side the other side is thinner and wiry. My right arm is bigger than my left arm. But I also used to do a lot of painting with very large brushes full of a lot of paint. And my right calf is at least a centimeter bigger than my left. To the point where a doctor just lost his mind about it.
