mounting plate rear-bearing

Why are the mountingplates turned by the most manufactures?

I want to make them horizontal like the sierra has normally.

Why not?

Guess its due to the hand brake cable ?

Is the calliper normally at 12 o'clock placed by the sierra with discs?

I'm planning to go on drums first then after SVA, when the cash-dip is over, convert it to discs.
