Dumb Holster Question

Actually it's not the holster that's the dumb one.

I recently bought what was advertized as a "DeSantis belt holster" for a j frame .38. I got it off of ebay. It shows up I slide it on my belt strong side and it's canted in the wrong direction.

It's a cross draw. Okay nice holster but my arms are too short for cross draw

It got me thinking. In just about every video I've ever seen of a quick draw guy, his holster is canted with the grip of his pistol backwards not forwards. When I tried to draw with this holster on my right side my elbow and wrist were both in a much more natual position. My draw was more comfortable if not faster. I was able to bring my pistol into a firing position faster as well.

Is there a reason for the FBI cant for lack of a better term?
