It's because when you spin right, you go off the jump on your right edges. So, when you're going off the jump switch you want to stay on your right edge because that's what's comfortable.

I do as well, whenever spinning off anything larger than a table top, switch spinning feels most comfortable, however, im only at switch 1's so far

When you revert to the left it's most natural to look over your right shoulder, which will make you wanna spin right. If you just start skiing switch right now in the early season looking over your left shoulder it will help a lot.
