Sure, but an inner join is just a left join with a not-null constraint. More syntax, but not a lot. I can see how someone might prefer left joins for consistency.

Right join is just left join with the clauses switched, so it makes sense to use left join consistently. Inner join is just a left join with a 'not null' condition. I prefer inner join for conciseness, but it makes sense to always
