Anyone who has been using Android for an extended period of time is likely used to having the clock as the last thing on the right in the Status Bar. Veteran iOS users will have likely gotten into the habit of looking in the middle of the Status Bar when checking on what time it is.

There are probably some who use both and have made it a habit of doing a visual scan across the status bar to check for the time.

With the release of Android 9.0 Pie, Google shifted the clock in the Status Bar from the top right corner of the screen to the top left. If you're not a fan of this then rest assured knowing there's a way that you can move it back. It requires root access and Substratum, but it's very easy to setup.
