MB spent a ton of money developing the W201, and I'm sure they spent their money where it mattered more.

To your point, the W140 wipers appear to be for RHD market. When the blades wipe, they move towards the right side of the vehicle.

Going back on topic, I wish the 190E's, at least the later models, had the convenience module so I can lower the front windows with a short press of the button. But then that would make them compete against the W124 which already had the convenience modue when the W201's were being phased out. Maybe this is DIY-able?

I believe so. Especially since the end-of-travel detection is just current sensing and not limit switching.
