Why does everyone put the trackball in the middle?

I heard rampart can be played with 2 joysticks.     I hate not having two player mouse for the purpose of having light gun games...and football etc.   But man, talk about cluttering.   I would defintely have to redesign the panel from scratch if I go that way, and in the end, to what purpose.    I guess dual trackballs, are even too out there for me.

Marble Madness is really fun with 2 players, although I always did better than my brother when we played 2 players ;)

Sinistar can also be played with a digital joystick.   ;D

I think this should be evidence enough as to why you don't put the trackball off to the side:
