Not really, IMHO it's pretty much because it's not worth the effort (gains would not be major). GPUs and CPUs do different things and have very different memory access profiles.
To make an analogy, in the US, postal delivery vehicles are specially made with the driver's side being on the right. This greatly improves the efficiency of the postal carrier, as he/she spends most of his/her time driving along the right curb, accessing mailboxes and buildings on the right. Of course, that doesn't mean that all cars in the US would work better with the driver's side on the right. In the specialized postal delivery case, it helps greatly, but wouldn't in the general case.
