Because down/up swipes are usually used to switch apps, or go to settings/menu's, so right/left swipes are a lot easier to switch months/days/weeks

- IshKebab 4y agoRight/left swipes are used for back. They're a lot more problematic than up/down because screens are narrow and tall, so it's easier to confuse the back gesture. Anyway that's clearly not the reason - Google switched back and forth years before navigation gestures were a thing.
