It’s because you can put your whole right arm and shoulder into pushing the stick to the left. But usually your forearm is doing most of the work pulling it back to the right.

That's also why most of the modern aerobatic aircraft (the 9+- serious ones anyway)have long(er) sticks, mounted a bit further away from the pilot.
