I would suspect it has to do with the tradition of the old mechanical metronomes. The weight has to be closer to the pivot point to increase speed, so it's probably easier to increase the scale as you go that direction. I'm guessing electronic metronomes probably follow this convention as a matter of habit.

This is a completely WAG, but it sounds logical.

On my metronome the numbers of beats per minute skip from 40 to 42 and
then changes by twos for a while, then threes, the kind of fours.  Is
there a logic to this?
